HOW TO USE THIS BOOK 

The "ENCYCLOPEDIA OF QUOTATIONS" is divided into four 
parts : 

1. A Topical Index of the Subjects of the quotations with cross ref- 
erences to other subjects which are of allied interest. 

2. A List of the Authors Quoted, with dates of their birth and 
death, and the pages on which the quotations from them are to be found. 

3. Dictionary of Quotations in the English and Foreign Languages, 
arranged alphabetically under words which denote the subject or prin- 
cipal sentiment of the quotation, each quotation being identified by the 
name of the author, the work from which it is taken and the location 
as closely as practicable. A valuable feature of the arrangement used 
in this work is the fact that Latin and all quotations from other foreign 
languages are classified under the same alphabetical arrangement with 
the English quotations, an arrangement which makes it unnecessary for 
the user to refer to more than one list to find either the original quota- 
tion in a foreign language or its translation in English. 

4 A Complete Concordance to the Dictionary of Quotations. Every 
prominent word in every quotation is indexed with sufficient context to 
locate every passage in which the word occurs. In this concordance it 
is noteworthy that the index words, for instantaneous distinction, are 
printed in bold-face type, the quotation or portion of quotation which 
they index being printed, when derived from English literature, in the 
ordinary Roman letter. Quotations from foreign languages are printed 
in italic letters. To preserve the desirable conciseness the index word 
in each quotation of the concordance is represented only by its initial, as 
the reader will perceive that it is unnecessary to print the word in full. 
Furthermore, quotations from the eight authors most frequently quoted 
are followed by a classifying mark which instantly accredits them to 
their author. Thus the quotations from the following authors, as being 
those most frequently quoted, are distinguished by the signs which follow 
their names: Shakespeare*, Milton**, Pope*, Byron ||, Wordsworthlf, Long- 
fellow^ Lowell+t Tennysonf.

viii HOW TO USE THIS BOOK 

There are four uses to which an Encyclopedia of Quotations is -most 
frequently put, and this work has been arranged with special consid- 
eration for quickest and most satisfactory answer to any desired ques- 
tion. 

1. To find a quotation on a given subject: Turn to the subject word 
in the Dictionary of Quotations and look for a suitable quotation among 
those listed under such subject word. If the quotation be not found in 
the first place sought for, a reference to the topical index of cross refer- 
ences will give another subject under which it will likely be found. 

2. To find a quotation by any given author: Turn to the list of 
authors quoted, where the pages are listed on which quotations by the 
author appear. 

3. To find a particular quotation of which only a portion or possibly 
one word is remembered and of which the author is unknown: A refer- 
ence to the concordance will reveal sufficient of its context for identifica- 
tion, with a reference to the page in the dictionary on which the quota- 
tion in full will be found. 

4. For those who desire to cite a quotation showing the use of any 
particular word, a similar reference to the concordance will yield an 
example of the context and meaning in which the word is used. 

Fullness, accuracy and facility of search have been the principal aims 
of the compiler of this encyclopedia. It is not to be expected that every 
saying of celebrated writers, nor every worthy phrase of obscure authors, 
can be comprised in a volume of this size, but this work received a very 
cordial welcome at its first appearance and we believe it will be found 
satisfactory for the needs of the scholar, teacher, minister, speaker, 
writer and reader of every kind.

ABSTINENCE.— A CCIDENTS. 



Tho' lost to sight, to mem'ry dear 

Thou ever wilt remain: 
One only hope my heart can cheer,— 
The hope to meet again. 

George Linley. Song. 
[This song was composed for and sung by 
Augustus Braham about 1840, and was set 
to music and published in London in 1848. 
But the words "Though lost to sight, to 
memory dear" are much older than the 
poem. Linley incorporated an already fa- 
miliar quotation of unknown authorship 
into his poem.] 

Though absent, present in desires they be; 
Our soul much further than our eyes can

Let no one be willing to speak ill of 
the absent. 

PROPERTros. Elegise, ii. 19, 32.

mones de se receptum est. 

It is generally admitted that the absent

they are being talked about. 

Pliny the Elder. Natural History. 
xxviii. 5. 



ABSTINENCE.

Against diseases here the strongest 

fence 
Is the defensive vertue, abstinence.

risme de la raison. 

To abstain that we may enjoy is the

Chapter of accidents. 

Chesterfield. Letters, Feb. 16, 1753. 

[The phrase is also used by Burke, Notes 
for Speeches (edition 1852, vol. ii., 426. 
Southey, in The Doctor, chapter cxviii., at- 
tributes to John Wilkes tbe saying," The 
chapter of accidents is the longest chapter 
in the book."] 

Accidents will occur in the best regu-

To vaunt themselves God's laws.

mental, 
That nothing with God can be acci-

ACCUSATION. 



Othello. Wherein I spake of most dis-

Of moving accidents bv flood and field. 
Shakespeare. Othello. Act i. Sc. 3. 

The moving accident is not my trade. 
WordsworTh. Hurt-Leap Well. Pt. ii. 

Hamlet. Sir, in this audience, 

Let my disclaiming from a purpos'd 

evil 
Free me so far in your most generous 

thoughts, 
As that I have shot my arrow o'er the 

house, 
And hurt mv brother. 
Shakespeare. Hamlet. Act v. Sc. 2. 1. 232. 

Florizel. As the unthought-on accident 

is guilty 
Of what we wildly do, so we profess 
Ourselves to be the slaves of chance, and 

flies 
Of every wind that blows.

The accident of an accident. 

Lord Thurlow. Speech in reply to 
Lord Grafton. 

[During a debate on Lord Sandwich's ad- 
ministration of Greenwich Hospital, the 
Duke of Grafton taunted Thurlow, then 
Lord Chancellor, on his humble origin. 
Thurlow rose from the woolsack, and, ad- 
vancing toward the duke, declared he was 
amazed at his grace's speech. "The noble 
duke," he cried, in a burst of oratorical 
scorn, "cannot look before him, behind 
him, and on either side of him without see- 
ing some noble peer who owes his seat in 
this House to his successful exertions in 
the profession to which I belong. Does he 
not feel that it is as honorable to owe it to 
these as to being the accident of an accident f ']

ACCUSATION. 

Macbeth. Thou can'st not say I did it ; 

never shake 
Thy gory locks at me. 
Shakespeare. Macbeth. Act iii. Sc. 4. 1.50. 

Duke. To vouch this is no proof. 

Without more certain and more overt 
test, 

Than these thin habits, and poor likeli- 
hoods 

Of modern seeming do prefer against 
him. 

Ibid. Othello. Act i. Sc. 3. 1. 107. 

Angelo. Who will believe thee, Isabel? 
My unsoil'd name, the austereness of 

my life, 
My vouch against you, and my place 

i' the state, 
Will so your accusation overweigh, 
That you shall stifle in your own report, 
And smell of calumny. 

Ibid. Measure for Measure. Act ii. Sc. 4. 
1. 154. 

The breath 
Of accusation kills an innocent name, 
And leaves for lame acquittal the poor 

life, 
Which is a mask without it.

I do not know the method of drawing 
up an indictment against a whole people. 
Burke. Speech, on Conciliation with 
America. Works. Vol. ii. p. 136. 

Therefore hath it with all confidence 
been ordered by the Commons of Great 
Britain, that I impeach Warren Hastings 
of high crimes and misdemeanors. I 
impeach him in the name of the Com- 
mons House of Parliament, whose trust 
he has betrayed. I impeach him in the 
name of the English nation, whose 
ancient honor he has sullied. I im- 
peach him in the name of the people 
of India, whose rights he has trodden 
under foot, and whose country he has

ACTION. 



turned into a desert. Lastly, in the 
name of human nature itself, in the 
name of both sexes, in the name of 
every age, in the name of every rank, 
I impeach the common enemy and op- 
pressor of all. 

Burke. Conclusion of Speech at the Trial 
of Warren Hastings. 
[This is the Macau'layized versi»n of 
Burke's peroration — conciser, swifter, more 
dazzling than the original— which has 
gained popularity through Maeaulay's 
essay on Warren Hastings.] 

ACTION. 

When Demosthenes was asked what 
was the first part of oratory, he an- 
swered, " Action " ; and which was the 
second, he replied, " Action " ; and 
which was the third, he still answered, 
"Action." 

Plutarch. Lives of the Ten Orators. 

[The saying has frequently been imitated. 
Thus when Louis XI. asked what he needed 
to make war the Marshal Trivulce replied : 
'■ Three things, money, more money, always 
.money." (" Trois ehoses : de l'argent, encore 
de l'argent et toujours de l'argent." Fifty 
years later General von Schussendi repeated 
the phrase in German : " Sind dreierlei 
Dinge notig: Geld, Geld, Geld."] 

" Boldness, more boldness, and always 
boldness, and France is saved " (" De l'aud- 
ace, et encore de l'audace, et toujours de 
l'audace, et la France est sauvee"). 

Danton. Speech before the National 
Assembly, August, 1792. 

And as she lookt about she did behold 
How over that same dore was likewise 
writ 
Be bolde, be bolde, and everywhere Be bold. 
That much she mused, but could not con- 
strue it 
By any ridling skill or commune wit, 
At last she spyde at that roome's upper end 
Another yron dore, on which was writ, 
Be not too bold ; whereto, though she did 

bend 
Her earnest minde, yet wist not what it 
might intende. 
Spenser. Faerie Quecne. iii. 2, 54. 



Write on your doors the saving wise and 

old, 
" Be bold ! be bold !" and everywhere, " Be 

bold; 
Be not too bold !" Yet better the excess 
Than the defect ; better the more than less ; 
Better like Hector in the field to die, 
Than like a perfumed Paris turn and fly. 
Longfellow. Morituri Salutamus. 



"Work, more work, and always work!" 
(" Du travail, encore du travail, et toujours 
du travail!") 

Gambetta. Speech at banquet to General 
Hoche, June 24, 1872. 

Agitate, agitate, agitate ! 

Daniel O'Connell. 

[O'Connell was known as " the Irish agita- 
tor " from this his constant exhortation to 
his fellow-countrymen. The advice, how- 
ever, originated with the Marquis of Angle- 
sea when Lord Lieutenant of Ireland under 
the Duke of Wellington. Parnell substi- 
tuted as a watchword, " Organize, organize, 
organize !"] 

He is at no end of his actions blest 
Whose ends will make him greatest and 
not best. 
George Chapman. Tragedy of Charles, 
Duke of Byron. Act v. Sc. 1. 

Lady Macduff. I am in this earthly 

world, where to do harm 
Is often laudable, to do good sometime 
Accounted dangerous follv. 
Shakespeare. Macbeth. Act"iv. Sc. 2. 1. 74. 

King. From lowest place when virtuous 

things proceed, 
The place is dignified by the doer's 

deed: 
Where great additions swell's and virtue 

none, 
It is a dropsied honor. Good alone 
Is good without a name.

Portia. How far that little candle throws 

his beams I 
So shines a good deed in a naughty 

world. 
Ibid. Merchant of Venice. Act v. Sc. 1. 1. 90. 

See golden days, fruitful of golden deeds, 
With joy and love triumphing. 
Milton. Paradise Lost. Bk. iii. 1. 337. 

Count that day lost whose low descend- 
ing Sun 

Views from thy hand no worthy action 
done. 

Anon. 

[A reminiscence of the exclamation of the 
Emperor Titus, "Friends, I have lost a 
day " (" Amici diem perdidi ") made one 
night at supper, on reflecting that he had 
assisted no one that day. The story is told 
by Suetonius.] 






ACTION. 






'I've lost a day"— the prince who nobly 

cried 
Had been an emperor without his crown. 
YQUNO. Sight Thoughts, ii. 1. 99. 

[The anonymous verses have been found 
tin Ms. and enclosed in quotation murks 
with Jacob Bobari's autn-niphi mi the fly- 
leaf of an album in the British Museum. 
The entry runs thus: 

Virtu.-' sun gloria. 
'• Think that day lust whose descending sun 
Views from thy hand uo noble action done." 

Apparently Bobart trusted to memory and 
was misled by a defective ear. The more 
metrical and more familiar version given 
above is first found (in print i in Stamford's 
Art of Reading, p. 27 (third edition, Boston, 
1803).]

Whene'er is spoken a noble thought, 

Our hearts, in glad surprise,

Has earned a night's repose.

Actions speak louder than words. 

English Proverb. 

In one form or another the sentiment re- 
appears in the proverbial and written lit- 
erature Of all languages. A few examples 
follow : 

For as action follows speeches and votes 
in the order of time, so does it precede and 
rank before them in force.

And 'tis a kind of good deed to say well : 
And yet words are no deeds.

And your ungodly deeds find me the words.

For now the field is not far off 
Where we must give the world a proof 
Of deeds, not words. 
Butler. Hudibras. Pt. i. Canto i. 1. 867. 

Such distance is between high words and 

deeds ! 
In proof, the greatest vaunter seldom speeds. 
Southwell. St. Peter's Complaint. 

Say well is good, but do well is better ; 

Do well seems the spirit, say well is the 

letter ; 
Say well is godly and helps to please, 
But do well is godly and gives the world 

Say well to silence is sometimes bound, 

But do well is free on every ground ; 

Say well has friends, some here, some there, 

But do well is welcome everywhere. 

By say well man to God's word cleaves, 

But for lack of do well it often leaves. 

If say well and do well were bound in one 

frame, 
Then all were done, all were won, and gotten 

were gain. 

Anon. 

Big words do not smite like war clubs, 
Boastful breath is not a bow-string, 
Taunts are not so sharp as arrows, 
Deeds are better things than words are, 
Actions mightier than boastings. 

Longfellow. Hiawatha, ix. 

A slender acquaintance with the world 
must convince every man that actions, not 
words, are the true criterion of the attach- 
ment of friends ; and that the most liberal 
professions of good-will are very far from 
being the surest marks of it.

Perhaps the earliest appearance in general 
literature of a popular proverb which arose 
in the following manner. St. Augustine was 
in the habit of dining on Saturday as on Sun- 
day; but, being puzzled with the different 
practices then prevailing (for they had be- 
gun to fast at Rome on Saturday;, he con- 
BUlted St. Ambrose on the subject. Now, at 
Milan they did not fast on Saturday; and 
the answer of the Milan saint was : " When 
I am here I do not fast on Saturday ; when 
at Rome I do fast on Saturday" (" Quando 
hie sum, nonjeiunoSabbato ; quando Roma.- 
sum. jejuno Babbato"). 

See St. Augustine. Letters, xxxvi. Sec. 32 
to Oaaulanus. 

He that fasted on Saturday in Ionia or 

Smyrna was a schisraatick; and so was he 

that did not fast at Milan or Home upon the 

same day, both upon the same reason : 

Cum fueris Roma-, Romano vivito more, 

Cum fueris alibi, vivito sicut ibi : 

When you're in Rome, then live in Roman fashion ; 
When you're elsewhere, then live as there they 

Because he was to conform to the custom of 
/ as well as that of Milan, in the re- 
spective dioceses.

Prosperity conceals his brightest ray ; 
As night to stars, woe lustre gives to man.

Prosperity is a great teacher; adversity is

Which like the toad, ugly and veno-

And this our life, exempt from public

Sermons in stones, and good in every 
thing.

Unless our weakness apprehend it so :

Virtue is like precious odors, — most 
fragrant when they are incensed or

Bacon. 0/ Adversity. 

As aromatic plants bestow 
No spicy fragrance while they grow ;

Diffuse their balmv sweets around.

Has won the experience which is deemed 
so weighty.

To think how monie counsels sweet, 
How monie lengthened sage advices, 
The husband frae the wife despises.

complain. 
Ibid. Comedy of Errors. Act ii. Sc. 1. 

We all, when we are well, give good ad-

Know when to speak — for many times

Burns. Epistle to a Young Friend. 



'Twas good advice, and meant, My son, 
be good. 

Orabbe. The Learned Boy. 

Good advice is one of those injuries 
which a good man ought, if possible, to 
forgive, but at all events to forget at 
once. 
Horace Smith. The Tin Trumpet. Advice. 

The worst men often give the best advice. 
Our deeds are sometimes better than our 

thoughts. 

Bailey. Festus. Sc. A Village Feast. 

Consult the dead upon the things that 

were, 
But the living only on things that are. 
Longfellow. The Qolden Legend, i. 

She had a good opinion of advice, 
Like all who give and eke receive it 
gratis, 
For which small thanks are still the 
market price. 

Byron. Bon Juan. 

Of all the horrid, hideous notes of woe, 
Sadder than owl-songs or the midnight 

blast, 
Is that portentous phrase, "I told you 

so," 
Utter" <3 by friends, those prophets of the 

past, 
Who, 'stead of saying what you now 

should do, 
Own they foresaw that you would fall at 

last, 
And solace your slight lapse 'gainst 

"bonos mores," 
With a long memorandum of old stories. 

Ibid. Don Juan. Canto xiv. St. 50. 

AFFECTATION. 

There affectation, with a sickly mien, 
Shows in her cheek the roses of eighteen ; 
Practis'd to lisp, and hang the head 

aside ; 
Faints into airs, and languishes with 

pride ; 
On the rich quilt sinks with becoming 

woe, 
Wrapt in a gown, for sickness, and for 

show. 
Pope. Rape of the Lock. Canto iv. 1. 31. 



I FFEt 'TIOX.—A QE {MIDDLE).

In man or woman, but far most in man, 
And most of all in man that ministers, 
And servo the altar, in my soul I loathe 
All affectation, "lis my perfect scorn : 
Object of my implacable disgust. 

Cowpeb. Task. Bk. ii. 1. 414. 

AFFECTION. 

Affection is a coal that must be cool'd, 
Else, suffer'd, it will set the heart on 

tire, 
The sea hath bounds, but deep desire 
hath none. 
Shakespeare. Venus and Adonis. 1. 387. 

For the affection of young ladies is of 
as rapid growth as Jack's beanstalk, and 
reaches up to the sky in a night. 

Thackeray. Vanity Fair. Ch. iv. 

'Tis sweet to feel by what fine spun 
threads our affections are drawn together. 
Sterne. Sentimental Journey. 

Deep is a wounded heart, and strong 
A voice that cries against a mighty 

wrong ; 
And full of death as a hot wind's blight, 
Doth the ire of a crushed affection light. 
F. Hemans. The Indian City. iii. 

There are some feelings Time cannot 

benumb, 
Nor Torture shake, or mine would now 

be cold and dumb. 
Byron. Childe Harold. Canto iv. St. 19. 

Talk not of wasted affection, affection 
never was wasted ; 

If it enrich not the heart of another, its 
waters, returning 

Back to their springs, like the rain, shall 
fill them full of refreshment ; 

That which the fountain sends forth re- 
turns again to the fountain. 
Longfellow. Evangeline. Pt. ii. 1. 

AGE (Middle). 

Fahtaff. Your lordship, though not

Be wise with speed ;

Young. Love of Fame. Satire ii. 1. 282. 

At thirty man suspects himself a fool ; 
Knows it at forty, and reforms his plan ; 
At fifty chides his infamous delay, 
Pushes his prudent purpose to resolve, 
In all the magnanimity of thought 
Resolves, and re-resolves; then dies the 
same.

If thou canst mutine in a matron's bones, 

To flaming youth let virtue be as wax, 

And melt in her own fire: proclaim no

When the compulsive ardour gives the 
charge, 

Since frost itself as actively doth burn 

And reason panders will.

AGE (OLD). 



Sweet is the infant's waking smile, 

And sweet the old man's rest — 
But middle age by no fond wile, 
No soothing calm is blest. 

Keble. The Christian Year. St. Philip 
and St. James. St. 3. 

Ho, pretty page with the dimpled chin 
That never has known the barber's 
shear, 
All your wish is woman to win, 
This is the way that boys begin, — 
Wait till you come to Forty Year. 

Forty limes over let Michaelmas pass, 

Grizzling hair the brain doth clear, — 
Then you know a boy is an ass, 
Then you know the worth of a lass, 
Once you have come to Forty Year. 
Thackeray. The Age of Wisdom. 

Of all the barb'rous middle ages, that 
Which is most barbarous is the middle 

age 
Of man; it is — I really scarce know 

what ; 
But when we hover between fool and 

sage, 
And don't know justly what we would 

be at — 
A period something like a printed page, 
Black letter upon fool's-cap, while our 

hair 
Grows grizzled, and we are not what we 

were ; — 

Too old for youth — too young, at thirty- 
five, 

To herd with boys, or hoard with good 
three-score, — 

I wonder people should be left alive ; 

But since they are, that epoch is a bore: 

Love lingers still, although 'twere late 
to wive ; 

And as for other love, the illusions' o'er ; 

And money, that most pure imagination, 

Gleams only through the dawn of its 
creation. 
Byron. Don Juan. Canto xii. St. 1 
and 2. 

On his bold visage middle age 
Had slightly pressed its signet sage, 
Yet had not quench' d the open truth 
And fiery vehemence of youth : 
Forward and frolic glee was there, 
The will to do, the soul to dare. 
Scott. Lady of the Lake. Canto i. St. 21.

you do measure the heat of our livers 
with the bitterness of your galls; and 
we that are in the vaward of our youth, 
I must confess, are wags too. 

Chief Justice. Do you set down your 
name in the scroll of youth, that" are 
written down old with all the charac- 
ters of age ? Have you not a moist eye, 
a dry hand, a yellow cheek, a white 
beard, a decreasing leg, an increasing 
belly ? Is not your voice broken, your 
wind short, your chin double, your wit 
single, and every part about you blasted 
with antiquity? and will you yet call 
yourself young ? Fie, fie, fie, Sir John ! 

Falstaff. My lord, I was born about 
three of the clock in the afternoon, with 
a white head and something a round 
belly. For my voice, I have lost it 
with halloing and singing of anthems. 
To approve my youth further, I will not : 
the truth is, I am only old in judgement 
and understanding; and he that will 
caper with me for a thousand marks, let 
him lend me the money, and have at him.

Virgil. 

[There is no other locution that has been 
so persistently twisted from its legitimate 
meaning. It is a literal translation of 
Virgil's description of Charon, the ferry- 
man of the nether regions. The poet speaks 
of him as "Jam, senior; sed cruda deoviri- 
disque senectus (somewhat aged; hut his 



godship's old age was still fresh and green). 
This we might say of a hale sexagenarian ; 
but to talk, as we do, of the green old age 
of a nonogenarian, however hale, is sheer 
nonsense. In describing the preparations 
made by Galgacus, the leader of the Britons, 
to give battle to the Roman legions at the 
foot of the Grampians, the historian uses 
the very words applied by Virgil to Charon. 
" Already," he says, " there were upwards 
of thirty thousand armed warriors to be 
seen ; while all the youth kept pouring in, 
and those whose old age was still fresh and 
green {quibus cruda ac viridis senectus)."] 

His hair just grizzled 
As in a green old age. 

Dryden. QSdipus. Act iii. Sc. 1. 

A green old age, unconscious of decays, 
That proves the hero born in better days. 
Homer. Iliad. Bk. xxiii. 1. 925. (Pope,

An age that melts with unperceived 
decay, 

And glides in modest innocence away ; 

Whose peaceful day Benevolence en- 
dears, 

Whose night congratulating Conscience 
cheers ; 

The general favorite as the general 
friend : 

Such age there is, and who shall wish 
its end?

Age too shines out; and, garrulous,

Thomson. The Seasons (Autumn). 1. 1231. 

As ancient Priam at the Scaean gate 
Sat on the walls of Troy in regal state 
Witli the old men, too old and weak to 

fight, 
Chirping like grasshoppers in their de- 
light 
To see the embattled hosts, with spear 

and shield, 
Of Trojans and Achaians in the field ; 
So from the snowy summits of our years 
We see you in the plain, as each appears, 
And question of you ; asking, " Who 

is he 
That towers above the others ? Which 

may be 
Atreides, Menelaus, Odysseus, 
Ajax the great, or bold Idomeneus?" 
Longfellow. Morituri Salutamus. 

Yet Time, who changes all, had altered 

him 
In soul and aspect as in age : years 

steal 
Fire from the mind as vigor from the 
limb ; 
And life's enchanted cup but sparkles 
near the brim. 
Byron. Childe Harold. Canto iii. St. 8. 

Years following years, steal something every

At last they steal us from ourselves away.

La Rochefoucauld. Maxim 461. 

Shall our pale, withered hands, be still 

stretch'd out, 
Trembling, at once, with eagerness and 

age? 
With av'rice, and convulsions, grasping 

hard? 
Grasping at air ! for what has earth 

beside ? 
Man wants but little; nor that little 

long ; 1

AGNOSTICISM.— AGRICULTURE. 



AGNOSTICISM. 

He hath denied the faith, and is worse 
than an infidel. 

New Testament. 1 Timothy v. 8. 

I took thought, and invented what I 
conceived to be the appropriate title of 
" agnostic." It came into my head as 
suggestively antithetic to the "Gnostic" 
of Church history who professed to know 
so much about the very things of which 
I was ignorant, and I took the earliest 
opportunity of parading it at our society, 
to show that I, too, had a tail like the 
other foxes. To my great satisfaction, 
the term took ; and when the Spectator 
had stood godfather to it, any suspicion 
in the minds of respectable people that 
a knowledge of its parentage might have 
awakened was, of course, completely 
lulled. 

Huxley. Christianity and Agnosticism : 
a Controversy. 

The world, and whatever that be 
which we call the heavens, by the vault 
of which all things are enclosed, we 
must conceive to be a deity, to be eter- 
nal, without bounds, neither created nor 
subject at any time to destruction. To 
inquire what is beyond it is no concern 
of man ; nor can the human mind form 
any conjecture concerning it. 

Pliny the Elder. Natural History. Bk„ 
ii. Sec. 1. 

It is ridiculous to suppose that the 
great head of things, whatever it be, 
pays any regard to human affairs. 

Ibid. 

I nm going to take a frightful leap in 
the dark. 

Thomas Hobbes. 

[Lord Derby used to characterize his Re- 
form Bill of 1867 sometimes as a "dishing 
of the Whigs," sometimes as " a leap in the 
dark." But he did not coin the latter phrase. 
It is to he found (quoted) in Lord Byron's 
diary, under date December 5, 1813: "The 
' leap in the dark ' is the least to be dreaded." 
The originator is probably Hobbes, who, on 
his death-bed (1679), is reported to have 
said : " I am going to take a frightful leap 
in the dark." Somewhat analogous is Rabe- 
lais's death-bed expression in 1553 : " I am 
going in search of a great Perhaps." ("«7e 
m' en vaischercher un grand peut-estre") ; and, 
indeed, we find this Englished by Motteux 
in his Life as " I am just going to leap into 
the dark."! 



His religion at best is an anxious wish,- - 
like that of Rabelais, a great Perhaps. 

Carlyle. Essays. Burns. 

Ah, well a day, for we are souls be-

Of all the creatures under heaven's

And most beliefless who had once be- 
lieved. 

Clouqh. Dypsichus. 
So runs my dream : but what am I ? 
An infant crying in the night : 
An infant crying for the light : 
And with no language but a cry. 

Tennyson. In Memoriam. St. liv. 

Ah, love, let us be true 

To one another ! for the world, which 

seems 
To lie before us like a land of dreams, 
So various, so beautiful, so new, 
Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor 

light, 
Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for 

pain ; 
And we are here, as on a darkling plain 
Swept with confused alarms of struggle 

and flight, 
Where ignorant armies clash by night. 
Matthew Arnold. Dover Beach. 1. 29. 

Why, all the Saints and Sages who dis- 
cuss' d 
Of the Two Worlds so wisely — they are 
thrust 
Like foolish Prophets forth; their 
Words to Scorn 
Are scattered, and their Mouths are stopt 
with Dust. 
Fitzgerald. Rubaiyat of Omar Khay- 
yam, xx vi.

Coleridge. The Ancient Mariner. Pt. iv. 

And now I'm in the world alone, 

Upon the wide, wide sea : 
But why should I for others groan, 

When none will sigh for me ? 
Perchance my dog will whine in vain, 

Till fed by stranger hands ; 
But long ere I come back again 

He'd tear me where he stands. 

Byron. Childe Harold. Canto i. St. 13. 

She dwelt among the untrodden ways 

Beside the springs of Dove, 
A maid whom there were none to praise 

And very few to love : 



A violet by a mossy stone 

Half hidden from the eye 1 
Fair as a star, when only one 
Is shining in the sky.

Affections, viii.

Jefferson Davis. First Message to the

Why should we faint and fear to live 

alone, 
Since all alone, so Heaven has willed, 

we die, 
Nor e'en the tenderest heart, and next 

our own 
Knows half the reasons why we smile 

and sigh ? 

Keble. The Christian Year. Twenty- 
fourth Sunday after Trinity. 

Yes ! in the sea of life enisled, 

With echoing straits between us 
thrown, 
Dotting the shoreless watery wild, 
We mortal millions live alone. 
The islands feel the enclasping flow, 
And then their endless bounds they 
know. 

Matthew Arnold. Switzerland. 

How lonely we are in the world ! how 
selfish and secret of everybody ! . . . 
Ah, sir, a distinct universe walks about 
under your hat and under mine, — all 
things in nature are different to each, — 
the woman we look at has not the same 
features, the dish we eat from has not 
the same taste to one and the other, — 
you and I are but a pair of infinite iso- 
lations, with some fellow-islands a little 
more or less near to us.

Whose music is the gladness of the

AMBER. 



Still glides the stream, and shall forever 

glide ; 
The Form remains, the Function never 

dies; 
While we, the brave, the mighty, and 

the wise, 
We Men, who in our morn of youth 

defied 
The elements, must vanish ; — be it so ! 
Enough, if something from our hands 

have power 
To live, and act, and serve the future 

hour ; 
And if, as toward the silent tomb we go, 
Through love, through hope, and faith's 

transcendent dower, 
We feel that we are greater than we 

know. 

Wordsworth. After-Thought. 

Were a star quenched on high, 

For ages would its light, 
Still travelling downward from the sky, 

Shine on our mortal sight. 
So when a great man dies, 

For years beyond our ken, 
The light he leaves behind him lies 

Upon the paths of men. 

Longfellow. Charles Sumner. 

When good men die their goodness does 

not perish, 
But lives though they-are gone. As for 

the bad, 
All that was theirs dies and is buried 

with them. 

Euripides. Temenidse. Frag. 734. 

To live in hearts we leave behind, 
Is not to die. 

Campbell. Hallowed Ground.

Is where he dies for man !

E'en such small critics some regard may

Preserved in Milton's or in Shakes-

Pretty! in amber to observe the forms 

Of hairs, or straws, or dirt, or grubs, or

But wonder how the devil they got

If Pope plagiarized, he has been plagia-

wrote of Canning: 

He is a fly in amber ; nobody cares about

"No!" cried the staring Monarch with a

" How, how the devil got the Apple in?"

became precious by death.

quered one ?" 
Plutarch. On the Tranquillity of the Mind. 

Whenever Alexander heard Philip 
had taken any town of importance, or 
won any signal victory, instead of re- 
joicing at it altogether, he would tell his 
companions that his father would antici- 
pate everything, and leave him and 
them no opportunities of performing 
great and illustrious actions.

So are they all, all honourable men, —

He was my friend, faithful and just to

But Brutus says he was ambitious ; 
And Brutus is an honourable man. 
He hath brought many captives home to

Did this in Caesar seem ambitious ?

religion, 
And offereth violence to nature's self.

Brutee find out where their talents lie : 

A bear will not attempt to fly ; 

A foundcrM horse will oft debate, 

Before he tries a five-barr'd gate; 

A dog by instinct turns aside, 

Who sees the ditch too deep and wide ; 

But man we find the only creature 

Who, led by folly, combats nature; 

Who, when she loudly cries — forbear, 

With obstinacy fixes there ; 

And, where his genius least inclines, 

Absurdly -bends his whole designs.

But wild Ambition loves to slide, not

And Fortune's ice prefers to Virtue's

Dryden. Absalom and Achitophel. Pt. i. 
1. 198. 

It has never, we believe, been remarked 
that two of the most striking lines in the 
description of Achitophel are borrowed, and 
from a most obscure quarter. In Knolles' 
History of the Turks, printed more than sixty 
years before the appearance of Absalom and 
Achitophel, are the following verses, under 
a portrait of Sultana Mustapha 1 : 

Greatnesse on goodnesse loves to slide, not 

stand, 
And leaves for Fortune's ice Vertue's firme 

land. 

The circumstance is the more remarkable, 
because Dryden has really no couplet more 
intensely Drydenian, both in thought and 
expression than this, of which the whole 
thought, and almost the whole expression 
are stolen.

Westward the course of empire takes its

A fifth shall close the drama with the

Time's noblest offspring is the last. 
George Berkeley, Bishop of Oloyne. 
Verses on the Prospect of Plant inn Arts 
and Learning in America, st. lust. 

The "Verses" have an interesting his- 
tory. They were written under the inspira- 
tion of a project formed in Berkeley's youth, 



of establishing In the Bermuda islands a 
college for the training of young na1 
missionaries to their fellow -Indians in 
America. "Religion is (ailing in the md 
World." he cries in a pamphlet published 
in L825; "in Europe the Protestant religion 
hath of late years considerably lost ground, 
and America seems the likeliest place 
wherein to make up what has been lost in 
Europe." Full of these visions, he. for the 
first and last time in his life, burst into 
song. The project was finally abandoned 
for lack of funds. But the verses will sur- 
vive as one more example of a prophecy 
fulfilled in a manner very different from 
the expectations of its author. 

George Bancroft, or his binders, in an 
epigraph stamped on the back of the cover 
of the early editions of Bancroft's History, 
misquoted the first line of the above stanza 
in a form which has been frequently fol- 
lowed : 

Westward the star of empire takes its 
way. 

Long before Berkeley, Samuel Daniel 
1 1 . t \ lj — iV,i9) and George He"rbert had dreamed 
similar dreams of future glory in the un- 
known West : 

And who (in time) knows whither we may 
vent 
The treasure of our tongue? To what 
strange shores 
This gain of our best glory shall be sent 
T'enrich unknowing nations with our 
stores ? 
What worlds in the yet unformed Occident 
May come refin'd with th' accents that are 
ours?

ANARCHY.— ANCESTR Y. 



In the four quarters of the globe, who 
reads an American book ? or goes to an 
American play ? or looks at an Ameri- 
can picture or statue ? What does the 
world yet owe to American physicians 
or surgeons? What new substances 
have their chemists discovered ? or what 
old ones have they analyzed? What 
new constellations have been discovered 
by the telescopes of Americans ? What 
have they done in mathematics ? Who 
drinks out of American glasses ? or eats 
from American plates ? or wears Ameri- 
can coats or gowns ? or sleeps in Ameri- 
can blankets ? Finally, under which of 
the old tyrannical governments of 
Europe is every sixth man a slave, 
whom his fellow-creatures may buy, 
and sell, and torture ? 

Sydney Smith. Edinburgh Review. Jan- 
uary, 1820.

ANARCHY. 

Where eldest Night 
And Chaos, ancestors of Nature, hold 
Eternal anarchy amidst the noise 
Of endless wars, and by confusion stand : 
For hot, cold, moist, and dry, four 

champions fierce, 
Strive here for mastery.

ANCESTRY. 

(See Aristocracy ; Heredity.) 

"I take but small account of noble 
birth ; 

For me the virtuous is the noble man ; 

The vicious, though his father ranked 
above 

Great Zeus himself, I still would base- 
born call."

ANCESTRY. 



Nobles and heralds, by your leave, 
Here lies what once was Matthew 
Prior ; 
The son of Adam and of Eve ; 

Can Bourbon or Nassau claim higher? 
Prior. Epitaph. Extempore. 

[Prior borrowed these lines from an in- 
scription on a very ancient tombstone in 
Scotland : 

Johnnie Carnegie lais heer, 

Descendit of Adam and Eve. 
Gif ony con gang hieher, 
Ise willing give him leve.] 

For all that faire is, is by nature good ; 
That is a signe to know the gentle blood.

Duke. The hand that hath made you fair 
hath made you good. 

Shakespeare. Measure for Measure. Act 
iii. Sc. 1. 1. 179. 

Howe'er it be, it seems to me 

'Tis only noble to be good. 
Kind hearts are more than coronets, 

And simple faith than Norman blood. 
Tennyson. Lady Clara Vere de Vere. 

I am my own ancestor. 
Andoche Junot, Duke of Abrantes. 

[Wbeji the Emperor Napoleon created 
Junot, a soldier who had risen from the 
ranks, Duke of Abrantes, a French noble- 
man of the old regime sneeringly asked 
what was his ancestry. " Ah, ma foi," was 
his reply, "je ne'ensais rien ; moije suis mon 
ancetre." ("Faith, I know nothing about 
it; I am my own ancestor.") The blunt 
soldier had certainly never heard of the 
Emperor Tiberius's description of Curtius 
Rufus : 

He seems to be a man sprung from him- 
self. 

Napoleon made a kindred reply to his 
prospective father-in-law, the Emperor of 
Austria, when the latter would fain trace 
the Bonaparte lineage to some petty prince : 

Sire, I am my own Rudolph of Hapsburg. 

(Rudolph was the founder of the Haps- 
burg family). Again, he silenced a gene- 
alogist by saying : 

Friend, my patent of nobility comes from 
Montenotte, 

his first great victory. Roscoe Conkling, in 
nominating Grant at the Republican Presi- 
dential Convention, June, 1880, quoted this 
verse from Miles O'Reilly : 

When asked what state he hails from, 

Our sole reply shall be, 
He comes from Appomattox 

And its famous apple tree.] 



To Harmodius, descended from the 
ancient Harmodius, when he reviled Iphi- 
crates [a shoemaker's son] for his mean 
birth, "My nobility," said he, "begins in 
me, but yours ends in you." 

Plutarch. Apothegms. 

[Almost the same words were used by 
Alexander Dumas when asked if be were 
not descended from an ape (a covert sneer 
at his negro grandmother) : " Very likely : 
my ancestry began where yours ends."] 

He lives to build, not boast, a generous 

race ; 
No tenth transmitter of a foolish face.

Whare was then the pride of man, 
That now merres his meed ? 
Richard Rolle de Hampole. Early 
English Text Society Reprints. No. 26. 
p. 79. 

[This is the first appearance in English 
literature of this phrase. But it had long 
before been extant as a proverb. During 
Watt Tyler's rebellion against Richard II. 
John Ball used it as his text for an address 
to the mob in this more familiar form : 

When Adam delved and Eve span 

Who was then the gentleman ? 

Ray, in his Proverbs, adds a second 
couplet which provides an answer to the 
first, but is probably of much later birth : 

Up start a churl, and gathered good, 

And thence did spring our gentle blood.] 

People will not look forward to pos- 
terity who never look backward to their 
ancestors. 

Burke. Reflections on the Revolution in 
France. Vol. iii. p. 274. 

If there be no nobility of descent, all 
the more indispensable is it that there 
should be nobility of ascent, — a charac- 
ter in them that bear rule so fine and 
high and pure that as men come within 
the circle of its influence they involun- 
tarily pay homage to that which is the 
one pre-eminent distinction, the royalty 
of virtue.

For, being not propp'd by ancestry, 

whose grace 
Chalks successors their way ; nor call'd ; 

upon 
For high feats done to the crown; 

neither allied 
To eminent assistants; but, spider-like, 
( )ut of his self-drawing web, he gives us 

note, 
The force of his own merit makes his 

way ; 
A gift that heaven gives him, which 

buys 
A place next to the king. 

Shakespeare, ihnnj Yin. Act i. 
Sc. I. 1. 5s. 

Dost thou look back on what hath been, 
As some divinely gifted man, 
Whose life in low estate began 

And on a simple village green ; 

Who breaks his birth's invidious bar, 
And grasps the skirts of happy chance, 
And breasts the blows of circumstance, 

And grapples with his evil star ; 

Who makes by force his merit known 
And lives to clutch the golden keys, 
To mould a mighty state's decrees, 

And shape the whisper of the throne ; 

And moving up from high to higher, 
Becomes on Fortune's crowning slope 
The pillar of a people's hope, 

The centre of a world's desire.

" A-well-a-day ! do what we can for

a tear upon the word, and blotted it out 
forever.

[Hazlitt, in his Lectures on the English Poets, 
first pointed out Campbell's indebtedness 
to Blair. He added: "Mr. Campbell, in 
altering the expression, has spoilt it. ' Few ' 
and 'far between' are the same thing." 
Elsewhere he notes that Campbell never 
forgave him this bit of detective work. But 
Blair himself was not original. He bor- 
rowed from John Norris, of Bemerton (1656- 
1711), who twice used the image : 

How fading are the joys we dote upon ! 

Like apparitions seen and gone ; 

But those which soonest take their flight 

Are the most exquisite and strong : 
Like angels' visits, short and bright, 

Mortality's too weak to bear them long.

Angels, as 'tis but seldom they appear, 
So neither do they make long stay ; 
They do but visit and away. 

Nonius. To the Memory of His Niece. 

Once at the Angelus 

(Ere I was dead), 
Angels all glorious 

Game to my bed ; 
Angels in blue and white, 

Crowned on the head. 
One was the friend I left 

Stark in the snow ; 
One was the wife that died 

Long, long ago ; 
One was the love I lost, 

Now could she know ? 
One had my mother's eyes 

Wistful and mild ; 
One had my father's face ; 

One was a child ; 
All of them bent to me, — 

Bent down and smiled. 
Austin Dobson. Good Night, Babette. 

How did he git thar? Angels. 
He could never have walked in that

Is a derned sight better business 
Tlian loafing around the Throne.

ANGER. 



Beware of him that is slow to anger; 
anger, when it is long in coming, is the

ANIMALS. 

A righteous man regardeth the life 
of his beast : but the tender mercies of 
the wicked are cruel. 

Old Testament. Proverbs xii. 10. 

I think I could turn and live with ani- 
mals, they are so placid and self- 
contained, 

I stand and look at them long and long. 

They do not sweat and whine about their 
condition ; 

They do not lie awake in the dark and 
sweat for their sins, 

They do not make me sick discussing 
their duty to God, 

Not one is dissatisfied, not one is de- 
mented with the mania of owning 
things. 

Not one kneels to another, nor to his 
kind that lived thousands of years 
ago, 

Not one is respectable or unhappy over 
the whole earth. 
Walt Whitman. Leaves of Grass. Song 
of Myself. 32. 

Animals are such agreeable friends — 
they ask no questions, they pass no 
criticisms. 

Geoege Eliot. Scenes of Clerical Life:

His license in the field of time, 
Unfetter'd by the sense of crime, 

To whom a conscience never wakes.

[The proverb " Never count your chickens 
before they are hatched." is probably a re- 
miniscence of ^Esop's fable of The Milkmaid, 
versified by Lafontaine under the title of 
Pierrette. The milkmaid loses herself in a 
dream of what she will do with the proceeds 
of her milk, deciding to invest them in eggs, 
which, when hatched, will lead by slow 
gradations to fortune. A sudden jar topples 
the milk-pail off her head, and away go 
all her dreams. A similar story with Al- 
naschar for its hero forms one of the Arabian 
Nightx.]

Cannot contain their urine; for Affec- 
tion, 
Mistress of passion, sways it to the mood 
Of what she likes, or loaths. Now, for 

your answer : 
As there is no firm reason to be ren- 

der'd, 
Why he cannot abide a gaping pig ; 
Why he a harmless necessary cat ; 
Why he a swollen bag-pipe ; but of force 
Must yield to such inevitable shame, 
As to offend himself, being offended ; 
So can I give no reason, nor I will not, 
More than a lodged hate, and a certain 

loathing 
I bear Antonio, that I follow thus 
A losing suit against him.

lend me, 
Which warp'd the line of every other 

favour ; 
Scorn'd a fair colour, or express'd it 

stolen ; 
Extended or contracted all proportions 
To a most hideous object ; thence it 

came, 
That she, whom all men prais'd, and 

whom myself, 
Since I have lost, have lov'd, was in 

mine eye 
The dust that did offend it.

A free translation from the Latin of 
Martial : 
Nod anio te, Sabidi, nee possum dicere 

quare ; 
Hoc tantum possum dicere, non amo te, 

Sabidi. 

I love tbee not, Sabidius, nor can I say 
why: this, however 1 can say, I love thee 
not, Sabidius. 

Epigrams, i. 33. 

In changing the name from Sabidius to 
Dr. Fell, the facetious Thomas is said to 
have had in mind no less a personage than 
his contemporary, Dr. John Fell, Dean of 
Christ Church, 'oxford, and Bishop of 
Oxford. The story runs that Brown in his 
student days was dismissed from Christ 
Church College by Dean Fell, but was re- 
called and promised restitution if he would 
translate extempore the thirty-third epi- 
gram from the first book of Martial. There- 
upon he produced the famous impromptu. 
It is a little singular that Brown was sub- 
sequently chosen to write the inscription 
for Dr. Fell's monument in Christ Church. 
It was probably before Brown's English 
version that Roger de Bussy, Comte de 
Kabutin (1618-93), produced this French 
translation of Martial's epigram: 

Je ne vous aime pas, Hylas ; 
Je n'en saurais dire la cause, 
Je sais seulement une chose : 
C'est que je ne vous aime pas.

ANTIQUITY. 

" Antiquitas saeculi juventus nmndi." 
These times are the ancient times, when

It is worthy of remark that a thought 
which is often quoted from Francis Bacon 
occurs in [Giordano] Bruno's Cena di Cenere, 
published in 1564 : I mean the notion that 
the later times are more aged than the 
earlier.

As in the little, so in the great world, rea- 
son will tell you that old age or antiquity 
is to be accounted by the farther distance 
from the beginning and the nearer approach 
to the end, — the times wherein we now live 
being in propriety of speech the most 
ancient since the world's creation. 

George Hakewill. An Apologie or 
Declaration of the Power and Provi- 
dence of God in the Government of the

For as old age is that period of life most 
remote from infancy, who does not see that 
old age in this universal man ought not to 
be sought in the times nearest his birth, but 
in those most remote from it? 

Pascal. Preface to the Treatise on 
Vacuum. 

All this cant about our ancestors is merely 
an abuse of words, by transfering phrases 
true of contemporary men to succeeding 
ages. Whereas of living men the oldest 
has, rscleris paribus, the most experience, of 
generations the oldest has, cateris paribus, 
the least experience. Our ancestors up to 
the Conquest were children in arms ; chubby 
boys in the time of Edward I.: striplings 
under Elizabeth ; men in the reign of Queen 
Anne; and we are the only white-bearded, 
silver headed ancients, who have treasured 
up, and are prepared to profit by, all the ex- 
perience human life can supply.

there were neither hammer, nor axe, nor 
any tool of iron heard in the house while it 
was in building." (I.Kings \i. 7.) Heber

[Attributed by Sallust (?) to Appius Claud-

There are extant two letters addressed to 
Caesar, " Dux Epistolx de Republica ordi- 
nanda," which contain political counsel and 
advice, and are attributed, on doubtful au- 
thority, to the historian Sallust. In the first 
of these letters occurs the following sen- 
tence : " But these things teach us the truth 
of what Appius says in his verses, that 
everyone is the architect of his own for- 
tune " (Fabrum esse sux quern que fortunx). 
The reference is to Appius Claudius Csecus, 
who held the office of censor in B.C. 312. 
His poems have not survived him. 

Bacon refers approvingly to the saying of 
Appius : " It cannot be denied, but outward 
accidents conduce much to fortune ; favor, 
opportunity, death of others, occasion fit- 
ting virtue : but chiefly, the mould of a 
man's fortune is in his own hands : Faber 
quisque fortunx sux.

Touch. I did dislike the cut of a cer-

if I said his beard was not cut well, he 
was in the mind it was: This is called 
the Retort Courteous. If I sent him 
word again it was not well cut, he would 
send me word, he cut it to please him- 
self: This is called the Quip Modest. 
It' again, it was not well cut, he disabled 
my judgment : This is called the Re- 
ply Churlish. If again, it was not well 
cut, he would answer, I spake not true : 
This is called the Reproof Valiant. If 
again, it was not well cut, he would say, 
I lie: This is called the Countercheck 
Quarrelsome ; and so to the Lie Circum- 
stantial, and the Lie Direct. 

Jaq. And how oft did you say his 
beard was not well cut? 

Touch. I durst go no further than the 
Lie Circumstantial, nor he durst not 
give me the Lie Direct ; and so we 
measured swords and parted. 

Jaq. Can you nominate in order now 
the degrees of the lie ? 

Touch. O, sir, we quarrel in print, by 
the book ; as you have books for good 
manners : I will name you the degrees. 
The first, the Retort Courteous; the sec- 
ond, the Quip Modest ; the third, the

Anon. L'Avocat Patelin. 

JThe earliest French play extant is 
,'Avocat Patelin," in one act. Guillaume, 
a cloth dealer, prosecutes his shepherd 
Agnelet for stealing some of his sheep, and 
employs the advocate Patelin. But lo! in 
the thick of his evidence against the shep- 
herd he spies the advocate arrayed in cloth 
he can swear to as of his own make. He 
must have stolen it. The thought so 
troubles his poor brain that he keeps wan- 
dering from the stolen sheep to the stolen 
cloth, while the judge keeps striving to 
make him stick to his story by adjuring 
him " Revevonz a nosrnoulons"—i. e., " Let us 
return to our sheep." As mouton is French 
alike for sheep and for mutton, English 
waggery or ignorance has translated the 
phrase " Let us return to our muttons."]

ART. 

Art is Long, and Time is fleeting. 
Longfellow. A Psalm of Life. St. 4. 

A rendering of the Latin proverb, Ars 
longa, vita brevis est ("Art is long, life 
brief," which in its turn is based upon the 
Greek of Hippocrates (Aphorism i.) : "Life is 
short and the art long and occasion swift, 
and experience fallacious and judgment dif- 
ficult." Hippocrates complains that the 
longest life is insufficient to acquire more 
than the rudiments of any art or science. 
Seneca in rebuttal declares that although 
that greatest of the sayings of the doctors, 
" Vita brevem esse, longam artem," was 
indorsed by Aristotle, nevertheless this is 
an unjust railing against Nature or Provi- 
dence. Chaucer closely follows Hip- 
pocrates : 

The lyfe so short, thecrafteso long to lerne, 
Th' assay so hard, so sharpe the conquering. 
Assembly of Fowls. 1. 1. 

Art indeed is long, but Life is short.

One with tenacious organs holds in love 
And clinging lust the world in its 
embraces ; 
The other -trongly sweeps this world 
above, 
Into the high ancestral spaces. 
Goethe. Faust. (Taylor, trans.) Pt. i. 
Sc. 2. 

A good man, through obscurest aspira-

Has still an instinct of the one true way. 
Ibid. Prologue in Heaven. 

Was there nought better than to enjoy ? 
No feat which done, would make time 

break, 
And let us pent-up creatures through 
Into eternity, our due- 
No forcing earth teach heaven's em- 
ploy ? 

No wise beginning, here and now, 
What cannot grow complete (earth's 

feat), 
And heaven must finish there and 

then? 
No tasting earth's sweet fruit for men 
Its sweet in sad, its sad in sweet. 

R. Browning. Dis Aliter Visain. St. 24 
and 25. 

But quiet to quick bosoms is a hell, 
And there hath been thy bane ; there is 

a fire 
And motion of the soul which will not 

_ dwell 
In its own narrow being, but aspire 
Beyond the fitting medium of desire. 
Byron. Childe Harold. Canto iii. St. 42. 



ASS. 

He shall be buried with the burial of 
an ass. 

Old Testament. Jeremiah xxii. 19. 

My thoughts ran a wool-gathering; 
and I did like the countryman who 
looked for his ass while he was mounted 
on his back. 
Cervantes. Don Quixote. Pt. ii. Ch. lvii. 

The ass will carry his load but not a 
double load ; ride not a free horse to 
death. 

Ibid. Don Quixote. Ch. lxxi. 

Con. Away ! you are an ass, you are 
an ass. 

Dogb. Dost thou not suspect my place ? 
Dost thou not suspect my years? O 
that he were here to write me down, an 
ass ! But, masters, remember, that I am 
an ass; though it be not written down, 
yet forget not that I am an ass. No, 
thou villain, thou art full of piety, as 
shall be proved upon thee by good wit- 
ness. I am a wise fellow ; and, which 
is more, an officer ; and, which is more, 
a house-holder ; and, which is more, as 
pretty a piece of flesh as any in Mes- 
sina ; and one that knows the law, go 
to ; and a rich fellow enough, go to ; 
and a fellow that hath had losses ; and 
one that hath two gowns, and everything 
handsome about him. Bring him 
away. O, that I had been writ down, 
an ass ! 

Shakespeare. Much Ado about Nothing. 
Act iv. Sc. 2. 1. 68.

ASTRONOMY. 

Bvron. Small have continual plodders 

ever won 
Save base authority from others' 
books. 
These earthly godfathers of heaven's 
lights 
That give a name to every fixed star 
Have no more profit of their shining 
nights 
Than those that walk and wot not 
what they are. 
Tun much to know is to know naught 
but fame ; 
And every godfather can give a name. 
Shakespeare. Love's Labor's Lost. Act 
i. Be. 1. 1. 86. 

Hereafter, when they come to model 

heaven 
And calculate the stars, how they will 

wield 
The mighty frame, how build, unbuild, 

contrive, 
To save appearances, how gird the 

sphere 
With centric and eccentric scribbled 

o'er, 
Cycle and epicycle, orb in orb. 
Milton. Paradise Lost. Bk. viii. 1. 78. 

But who can count the stars of 
Heaven ? 
Who sing their influence on this lower 
world ?

ATHEISM; ATHEIST. 

The fool hath said in his heart, there 
is no God. 

Old Testament. Psalm xiv. 1. 

Pie who does not believe that God is 
above all is either a fool or has no ex- 
perience of life. 
C.ECiLius Statius. Incert. Fragment, xv. 

"There is no God," the foolish saith, — 

But none, "There is no sorrow" : 

And Nature oft the cry of Faith 

In bitter need will borrow. 

Eyes which the preacher could not 

school, 
By wayside graves are raised ; 
And lips say, " God be pitiful," 
Who ne'er said "God be praised." 

Mrs. Browning. Cry of the Human. 

" There is no God," the wicked saith, 

" And truly it's a blessing, 
For what He might have done with us 

It's better only guessing." 

Some others, also, to themselves 
Who scarce so much as doubt it, 

Think there is none, when they are well 
And do not think about it. 



And almost every one, when age, 
Disease, or sorrows strike him, 

Inclines to think there is a God, 
Or something very like Him. 

CLOTJGH. Dipsyclius. Pt. i. Sc. 5. 

Sir, he [Bolingbroke] was a scoundrel

AUTUMN. 

Per. Sir, the year growing ancient 
Not yet on summer's death, nor on the

Of trembling winter, — the fairest flowers

Which some call nature's bastards.

The Sabbath of the year. 
Logan. The Country in Autumn. Ver. i. 

The yellow year is hasting to its close ; 
The little birds have almost sung their 

last, 
Their small notes twitter in the dreary 

blast — 
That shrill-piped harbinger of early 

snows ; — 
The patient beauty of the scentless rose, 
Oft with the morn's hoar crystal quaintly 

glassed, 
Hangs a pale mourner for the summer 

past, 
And makes a little summer where it 

grows ; — 
In the chill sunbeam of the faint brief 

day 
The dusky waters shudder as they shine 
The russet leaves obstruct the straggling 

way 
Of oozy brooks, which no deep banks 

define, 
And the gaunt woods, in ragged, scant 

array, 
Wrap their old limbs with sombre ivy- 
twine.

Of wailing winds, and naked woods, and 
meadows brown and sere. 

Heaped in the hollows of the grove, the

They rustle to the eddying gust, and to 
the rabbit's tread ; 

The robin and the wren are flown, and 
from the shrubs the jay, 

And from the wood-top calls the crow 
through all the gloomy day.

To bend with apples the moss'd cottage 
trees, 
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the 
core.

There is a harmony 
In Autumn, and a lustre in its sky, 
Which thro' the summer is not heard 

nor seen, 
As if it could not be, as if it had not 
been ! 
Shelley'. Hymn to Intellectual Beauty. 

The warm sun is failing, the bleak wind 

is wailing, 
The bare boughs are sighing, the pale 
flowers are dying ; 
And the year 
On the earth her deathbed, in a shroud 
of leaves dead, 
Is lying.

The riches of Heaven's pavement, trod- 
den gold, 
Than aught divine or holy else enjoyed 
In vision beatific: by him first 
Men also, and by his suggestion taught, 



Ransacked the centre, and with impious 

hands 
Rifled the bowels of their mother Earth 
For treasures better hid. Soon had his 

crew 
Opened into the hill a spacious wound, 
And digged out ribs of gold. Let none 

admire 
That riches grow in Hell ; that soil may 

best 
Deserve the precious bane.

Desire his jewels, and this other's house : 
And my more-having would be as a

To make me hunger more ; that I should 

forge 
Quarrels unjust against the good and 

loyal, 
Destroying them for wealth.

BALLADS AND SONGS. 

I knew a very wise man that believed 
that ... if a man were permitted 
to make all the ballads, he need not care 
who should make the laws of a nation. 
Andrew Fletcher of Saltoun. 

[This phrase occurs in a letter to the 
Marquis of Montrose, Earl of Rothes. Many 
surmises have been made as to the identity 



of the " very wise man." As good a guess 
as any names John Selden, who was a friend 
of Fletcher's. The saying finds special sig- 
nificance in France, which was described 
in a seventeenth century proverb as "a 
monarchy tempered by songs." Later the 
word "epigrams" was substituted for 
" songs " in recognition of the popular in- 
fluence of epigrams or " mots." 

Tout finit par des chansons. ("Everything 
ends in songs.")

Falstaff. An I have not ballads made 
on you all, and sung to filthy tunes, let 
a cup of sack be my poison. 

Shakespeare. I. Henry IV. Act ii. 
Sc. 2. 1. 43. 

But touch me, and no minister so sore. 
Whoe'er offends, at some unlucky time 
Slides into verse, and hitches in a rhyme, 
Sacred to ridicule his whole life long, 
And the sad burthen of some merry song. 
Pope. Satire i. 1. 76.

Byron. English Bards and Scotch Re.

Hotspur. I had rather be a kitten, and 
cry mew, 

Than one of these same metre ballad- 
mongers ; 

I had rather hear a brazen canstick 
turn'd, 

Or a dry wheel grate on the axle-tree ; 

And that would set my teeth nothing on 
edge, 

Nothing so much as mincing poetry : 

'Tis like the forced gait of a shuffling 
nag.

Letters, quoting from the Memoirs of 
Dutens, informs us that the couplet was

[The same line occurs in the Lord's 
Progress by Fletcher and others. Act v. 
Sc. 1.] 

We left our country for our country's 
good. 

George Barrington. 

[Barrington was a convict in New South 
Wales. On January 16, 1796, he and his fel- 
low-convicts acted in a production of 
Young's tragedy, "The Revenge," for the 
opening night of the new play-house at 
Sydney. Barrington wrote the prologue, 
which commences as follows : 
From distant climes, o'er wide-spread seas, 

we come, 
Though not with much eclat or beat of 

drum; 
True patriots we, for, be it understood, 
We left our country for our country's good. 
No private views disgraced our generous 

zeal, 
What urged our travels was our country's 

weal; 
And none will doubt but that our emigra- 
tion 
Has proved most useful to the British 
nation.] 

A similar idea occurs in Farquhar's The 
Beaux Stratagem (1706), in this dialogue be- 
tween a well-meaning philanthropist and a 
highwayman : 

Aimwell. You have served abroad, sir? 

Gibbett. Yes, sir, in the plantations ; 'twas 
my lot to be sent into the worst of service. 
I would have quitted it, indeed, but a man 

of honor, you know . Besides, 'twas for 

the good of my country that I should be 
abroad. Anything for the good of one's 
country ; I'm a Roman for that. 

In a complimentary sense the phrase had 
been applied so early as 1596 to Sir Francis 
Drake : 

Leaving his country for his country's 
sake. 

Fitz-Geffrey. The Life and Death of Sir 
Francis Drake. St. 213. 

[The sarcasm was anticipated in Eastward 
Ho ! a tragedy written by Chapman, Jonson, 
and Marston shortly after the accession of 
James VI. of Scotland as James I. of Eng- 
land, when the arrival of a horde of Scots- 
men in London aroused the jealous anger 
of the English : 

Only a few industrious Scots perhaps, who 
indeed are dispersed over the face of the 
whole earth. But as for them, there are no 
greater friends to Englishmen and England, 
when they are out on't, in the world, than 
they are. And for my own part, I would a 
hundred thousand of them were there [Vir.

noise 
Of conflict; overhead the dismal hiss

His blood-red tresses deep'ning in the

With death-shot glowing in his fiery

And eye that scorcheth all it glares 

upon ; 
Restless it rolls, now fix'd, and now 

anon 
Flashing afar, — and at his iron feet 
Destruction cowers, to mark what 

deeds are done ;

meet, 
To shed before his shrine the blood he 

deems most sweet.

BEAUTY (in General). 

A thing of beauty is a joy forever; 
Its loveliness increases ; it will never 
Pass into nothingness, but still will keep 
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep 
Full of sweet dreams and health and 

quiet breathing. 
Therefore, on every morrow, are we 

wreathing 
A flowery band to bind us to the earth, 
Spite of despondence, of the inhuman 

dearth 



BEAUTY (PERSONAL). 



75 



Of noble natures, of the gloomy days, 
Of all the unhealthy and o'er-darken'd 

ways 
Made for our searching : yes, in spite of 

all, 
Borne shape of beauty moves away the 

pall 
From our dark spirits. Such the sun, 

the moon, 
Trees old and young, sprouting a shady 

boon 
For simple sheep ; and such are daffodils 
With the green world they live in. 

Keats. Endymion. Bk. i. 1. 1. 

When old age shall this generation 

waste, 
Thou shalt remain, in midst of other

is all 
Ye know on earth, and all ye need to 

know.

Beauty is but a vain and doubtful good ; 
A shining gloss that fadeth suddenly ; 
A flower that dies, when first it 'gins to 

bud; 
A brittle glass, that's broken presently : 
A doubtful good, a gloss, a glass, 

a flower, 
Lost, faded, broken, dead within 
an hour. 
Shakespeare. The Passionate Pilgrim. 
St. 9. 
As flowers dead lie wither'd on the 

ground ; 
As broken glass no cement can re- 
dress ; — 
So beauty, blemish'd once, 's forever lost, 
In spite of physic, painting, pain and 
cost. 

Ibid. The Passionate Pilgrim. St. 13. 
The ornament of beauty is suspect, 
A crow that flies in heaven's sweetest air. 

Ibid. Sonnet lxx. 
Beauty, — thou pretty plaything, death, 

deceit ! 
That steals so softly o'er the stripling's 

heart, 
And gives it a new pulse, unknown 

before, 
The grave discredits thee. 

Blair. The Grave. 1. 837. 



Beauty's of a fading nature — 
Has a season, and is gone ! 

Burns. Will Ye Go and Marry Katiet 

Beauty is but skin deep. 

[This saying in one form or another is 
found ,in the proverbial literature of all 
countries. The Early Fathers of the Church 
and other mediaeval moralists were espe- 
cially fond of it.] 

Take her skin from her face and thou 
shalt see all loathsomeness under it, that 
beauty is a superficial skin and bone, nerves, 
sinews. 

St. John Chrysostom. 

In corpore ipso quid forma est? nempe

itself what is beauty save a little skin, well 
colored ?"

Many a dangerous temptation comes to us 

in fine gay colours, that are but skin-deep. 

Matthew Henry. Commentaries. Genesis 



Beauty is but skin deep, 

Ugly lies the bone ; 
Beauty dies and fades away, 

But ugly holds its own. 



La beautS du visage est un frele ornament, 
Une fieur passagere, un eclat d'un moment, 
Et qui n'est attache" qu'a la seul epiderme 

Facial beauty is but a frail ornament, a 
passing flower, a momentary brightness, 
and which is attached to the skin alone. 
Moliere. Les Femmes Savantes. iii. 6. 



The saying that beauty is but skin- 
deep is but a skin-deep saying. 

Herbert Spencer. Essays. Personal 



It becomes possible to admit that plain- 
ness may coexist with nobility of nature, 
and fine features with baseness ; and yet to 
hold that mental and physical perfection are 
fundamentally connected, and will, when 
the present causes of incongruity have 
worked themselves out, be ever found 
united,

Beauty is nature's brag, and must be shown 
In courts, in feasts, and high solemnities, 
Where most may wonder at the workman-

It is for homelv features to keep home, 
They had their name thence ; coarse com- 
plexions, 
cheeks of

Love-darting eyes, and tresses like the

Beauty is certainly a soft, smooth,

That thou her maid art far more fair than 
she : 



Be not her maid, since she is envious ; 

Her vestal livery is but sick and green, 

And none but fools do wear it ; cast it off. 

It is my lady : O, it is my love ! 

O, that she knew she were ! 

She speaks, yet she says nothing ; what of 

that? 
Her eye discourses, I will answer it. 
I am too bold, 'tis not to me she speaks : 
Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven, 
Having some business, do entreat her eyes 
To twinkle in their spheres till they return. 
What if her eyes were there, they in her 

head? 
The brightness of her cheek would shame 

those stars, 
As daylight doth a lamp ; her eye in heaven 
Would through the airy region stream so 

bright 
That birds would sing and think it were not 

night. 
See, how she leans her cheek upon her 

hand! 
O, that I were a glove upon that hand, 
That I might touch that cheek !

What's female beauty, but an air divine, 

Through which the mind's all-gentle

The body charms, because the soul is 
seen. 

Hence men are often captives of a face, 

They know not why, of no peculiar

man can bear ; 

Some none resist, though not exceeding 
fair.

Canterbury. So work the honey bees, 
Creatures that by a rule in nature teach 
The art of order to a peopled kingdom. 
They have a king and officers of sorts ; 
Where some, like magistrates, correct at 

home ; 
Others, like merchants, venture trade 

abroad ; 
Others, like soldiers, armed in their 

stings, 
Make boot upon the summer's velvet 

buds; 
Which pillage they with merry march 

bring home, 
To the tent-royal of their emperor ; 
Who, busied in his majesty, surveys 
The singing masons building roofs of 

gold, 
The civil citizens kneading up the 

honey, 
The poor mechanic porters crowding in 
Their heavy burdens at his narrow gate ; 
The sad-ey'd justice, with his surly hum, 



Delivering o'er to executors pale 
The lazy yawning drone. 

Shakespeare. Henry V. Act i. Sc. 2.

[Bees, of course, have no king. The same 

error appears in Bacon, who speaks of " the 

king in a hive of bees" (Apothegms). Both

their king. They attend him in crowds, 

often raising him on their shoulders and 

exposing their own bodies in his defence.

(This bon mot is recorded in one of Vol- 
taire's notes to Canto i. of " La Pucelle." 
The lady herself gives its genesis in a letter 
to Horace Walpole (June 6, 1767; . It appears 
that Cardinal Polignac, a man of vast cre- 
dulity, told her the old story of the martyr- 
dom of St. Denis, who, after decapitation, 
walked two leagues with his head in his 
hand to the spot where his church was 
afterward erected. The cardinal laid spe- 
cial stress on the distance traversed. " The 
distance is nothing," quoth Madame; "'tis

Ring out old shapes of foul disease ; 

Ring out the narrowing lust of gold ; 

Ring out the thousand wars of old, 
Ring in the thousand years of peace.

The larger heart, the kindlier hand ; 
Ring out the darkness of the land, 

Ring in the Christ that is to be.

He was of that stubborn crew 
Of errant saints, whom all men grant

[It was the custom among the Jews and 
other ancient races to place a new-horn 
child upon the ground immediately after its 
birth.] 

The infant, as soon as Nature with great 
pangs of travail hath sent it forth from the 
womb of its mother into the regions of light, 
lies, like a sailor cast out from the waves, 
naked upon the earth, in utter want and 
helplessness, and fills every place around 
with mournful wailings and piteous lamen- 
tations, as is natural for one who has so 
many ills of life in store for him, so many 
evils which he must pass through and 
suffer.

Young. Sight Thoughts, v. 1. 717. 

Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting ; 

The soul that rises with us, our life's 
star, 
Hath had elsewhere its setting, 

And cometh from afar: 
Not in entire forgetfulness, 
And not in utter nakedness, 
But trailing clouds of glory do we come 
From God, who is our home : 
Heaven lies about us in our infancy 1 
Shades of the prison-house begin to 
close 

Upon the growing boy, 
But he beholds the light, and whence it 
flows; 

He sees it in his joy. 
Wordsworth. Ode on 'immortality. St. 5.

Born in the garret, in the kitchen bred.

Begot by butchers, but by bishops bred, 
How high his honor holds his haughty

Everybody likes and respects self- 
made men. It is a great deal better to 
be made in that way than not to be made 
at all. 

Holmes. Autocrat of the Breakfast Table. 

BLACKSMITH. 

Hubert. I saw a smith stand with his 
hammer, thus, 
The whilst his iron did on the anvil cool. 
With open month swallowing a tailor's 
news. 
Shakespeaee. King John. Act iv. Sc. 
2. 1. 193. 

Under a spreading chestnut tree 

The village smithy stands : 
The smith, a mighty man is he, 

With large and sinewy hands ; 
And the muscles of his brawny arms 

Are strong as iron bands. 
Longfellow. The Village Blacksmith. 

The paynefull smith, with force of fer- 
vent heat, 

The hardest yron soone doth mollify, 

That with his heavy sledge he can it 
beat, 

And fashion it to what he it list apply. 
Spensee. Sonnet xxxii. 

Curs' d be that wretch (Death's factor 

sure) who brought 
Dire swords into the peaceful world, and 

taught 
Smiths (who before could only make 
The spade, the plough-share, and the 

rake) 
Arts, in most cruel wise 
Man' s left to epitomize ! 

Abeahaji Cowley. In Commendation 
of the Time we live under the Reign of 
our gracious King, Charles II. . 

Old Tubal Cain was a man of might 
In the days when earth was young. 

And he sang " Hurrah for my handi- 
work! 
Hurrah for the spear and the sword ! 



Hurrah for the hand that shall wield 
them well, 
For he shall be king and lord." 

And he sang: " Hurrah for my handi- 
work !" 
And the red sparks lit the air; 
"Not alone for the blade was the bright 
steel made ; " 
And he fashioned the first plough- 
share. 
Chas. Mackay. Tubal Cain. St. 4. 

In other part stood one who, at the forge 
Labouring, two massy clods of iron and 

brass 
Had melted. 

Milton. Paradise Lost. Bk. xi. 1. 564. 

Come see the Dolphin's anchor forged ; 

'tis at a white heat now : 
The billows ceased, the flames decreased ; 

though on the forge's brow 
The little flames still fitfully play 

through the sable mound ; 
And fitfully you still may see the grim 

smiths ranking round, 
All clad in leathern panoply, their broad 

hands only bare ; 
Some rest upon their sledges here, some 

work the windlass there. 

Sam'l Ferguson. The Forging of the 
Anchor. St. 1. 

BLESSINGS. 

Multa ferunt anni venientes commoda 

secum, 
Multa recedentes adimunt. 
Years, as they come, bring blessings in 

their train ; 
Years, as they go, take blessings back 

again. 

Hoeace. De Arte Poetica. 175. (Con- 
ington, trans.) 

Like birds, whose beauties languish half 

concealed, 
Till, mounted on the wing, their glossy 

plumes 
Expanded, shine with azure, green and 

gold; _ 
How blessings brighten as they take 

their flight.

O, loss of sight, of thee I most complain ! 
Blind among enemies, O worse than

Dungeons, or beggary, or decrepit age I 
Light, the prime work of God, to me's

And all her various objects of delight 
Annul'd, which might in part my grief

Milton. Samson Agonistes. 1.07. 

O dark, dark, dark, amid the blaze of 

noon, 
Irrecoverably dark ! total eclipse, 
Without all hope of day. 

Ibid. Samson Agonistes. 1. 80. 

Thus with the year 
Seasons return, but not to me returns 
Day, or the sweet approach of even or 

morn, 
Or sight of vernal bloom, or summer's 

rose, 
Or flocks, or berds, or human face 

divine; 
But cloud instead, and ever-during dark 
Surrounds me, from the cheerful ways

BLUSHING. 



Cut off, and for the book of knowledge 

fair 
Presented with a universal blank 
Of Nature's works to me expunged and 

rased, 
And wisdom at one entrance quite shut 

out. 
So much the rather then, Celestial Light, 
Shine inward, and the mind thro' all her 

powers 
Irradiate ; there plant eyes ; all mist 

from them 
Purge and disperse, that I may see and 

tell 
Of things invisible to mortal sight. 
Milton. Paradise Lost. Bk. iii. 1. 41. 

When I consider how my light is spent 
Ere half my days, in this dark world 

and wide ; 
And that one talent which is death to 

hide 
Lodged with me useless, though my 

soul more bent 
To serve therewith my Maker and pre- 
sent 
My true account, lest He, returning, 

chide ; 
"Doth God exact day-labour, light 

denied ?" 
I fondly ask : but Patience, to prevent 
That murmur, soon replies, "God doth 

not need 
Either man's work, or his own gifts; 

who best 
Bear his mild yoke, they serve him 

best: his state 
Is kingly; thousands at his bidding 

speed, 
And post o'er land and ocean without 

rest ; 
They also serve who only stand and 

wait. 

Ibid. Sonnet on His Blindness. 



Cyriack, this three years' day these 

eyes, though clear, 
To outward view, of blemish or of spot, 
Bereft of light, their seeing have forgot, 
Nor to their idle orbs doth sight appear 
Of sun, or moon, or star throughout the 

year, 
Or man, or woman. Yet I argue not 
Against Heaven's hand or will, nor bate 

a jot 



Of heart or hope ; but still bear up and 

steer 
Eight onward. What supports me, dost 

thou ask ? 
The conscience, friend, to have lost them 

overplied 
In liberty's defence, my noble task, 
Of which all Europe rings from side to 

side. 
This thought might lead me through the 

world's vain mask 
Content though blind, had I no better 

guide. 

Milton. To Cyriack Skinner. 

He pass'd the flaming bounds of place 

and time : 
The living throne, the sapphire blaze, 
Where angels tremble while they gaze, 
He saw; but, blasted with excess of 

light, 
Closed his eyes in endless night. 
Gray. The Progress of Poesy, iii. 2. 1. 98. 

[The reference is to Milton. See under 
Milton.] 

Buy my flowers, — oh buy I pray !

BLUSHING. 

Blushing is the colour of virtue. 

Matthew Henry. Commentaries. 
Jeremiah iii. 

Once Diogenes saw a youth blushing, 
and addressed him, " Courage, my boy ! 
that is the complexion of virtue." 

Diogenes Laertius. Liogenes. vi. 

Erubuit : salva res est. 

He blushes : all is safe. 

Terence. Adelphi. iv. 5. 9. 
Better a blush in the face than a blot 
in the heart. 

Cervantes. Don Quixote. Pt. ii. Bk. iii. 
Ch. xliv. (Jarvis, trans.) 

The man that blushes is not quite a 
brute. 
Young. Night Thoughts. Night 7. 1. 496. 

I pity bashful men, who feel the pain 
Of fancied scorn, and undeserved disdain, 
And bear the marks upon a blushing

Of needless shame, and self-imposed dis- 
grace.

From every blush that kindles in thy

Weel-pleas'd the mother hears, it's nae

Burns. Cotter's Saturday Night. St. 7. 

Girls blush, sometimes, because they are 

alive, 
Half wishing they were dead to save the 

shame. 
The sudden blush devours them, neck 

and brow ; 
They have drawn too near the fire of 

life, like gnats, 
And flare up boldly, wings and all. 
What then ? 

Who's sorry for a gnat ... or girl ? 
Mrs. Browning. Aurora Leigh. Bk. ii. 
1. 692. 

We griev'd, we sigh'd, we wept; we

Cowley. Discourse concerning the Gov-

of two contradictories.

BOASTING. 



" See," cried they, while in reddening 

tide it gushed, 
" The bashful stream hath seen its God; 
and blushed." 

Translated by Aaron Hill. 
The last line of Crashaw's epigram has 
been translated in many ways, the most 
popular being the one that is found in 
Heber, where it appears without credit or 
quotation marks : 

The conscious water saw its God and 
blushed. 
Other versions occasionally met with are: 
The conscious water blush'd its God to see. 
The shy nymph saw her god and blush'd. 
For the chaste nymph had seen her God and 
blush'd.

Abraham Coles's poetical translation in

I've reared a monument alone 
More durable than brass or stone ; 
Whose cloudy summit is more hid 
Than regal height of pyramid.

A good book is the precious life-blood

Milton. Areopagitica. 

It is of greatest concernment in the 
church and commonwealth to have a 
vigilant eye how books demean them- 
selves, as well as men, and therefore to 
confine, imprison, and do sharpest justice 
on them as malefactors, for books are 
not absolutely dead things, but do con- 
tain a potency of life in them, to be as 
active as that soul whose progeny they 
are ; nay, they do preserve, as in a phial, 



the purest efficacy and extraction of that 
living intellect that bred them. 

I know they are as lively, as vigor- 
ously productive as those fabulous 
dragon's teeth, and, being sown up and 
down, may chance to spring up armed 
men ; and yet, on the other hand, unless 
wariness be used, as good almost kill a 
man as kill a good book : who kills a 
man kills a reasonable creature, God's 
image ; but he who destroys a good book, 
kills reason itself, kills the image of 
God, as it were, in the eye.

Tlie debt which lie owes to them is 
incalculable; they have guided him to

human intellects. 

Macaulay. Essays. Lord Bacon. 

Consider what you have in the smallest 
chosen library. A company of the wisest 
and wittiest men that could be picked 
out of all civil countries, in a thousand 
years, have set in best order the results 
of their learning and wisdom. The men 
themselves were hid and inaccessible, 
solitary, impatient of interruption, fenced 
by etiquette ; but the thought which 
they did not uncover to their bosom 
friend is here written out in transparent 
words to us, the strangers of another age. 

Emerson. Society and Solitude. Books. 

Have you ever rightly considered 
■what the mere ability to read means? 
That it is the key which admits us to 
the whole world of thought and fancy 
and imagination? to the company of 
saint and sage, of the wisest and the 
wittiest at their wisest and wittiest 
moment ? That it enables us to see 
with the keenest eyes, hear with the 
finest ears, and listen to the sweetest 
voices of all time? More than that, it 
annihilates time and space for us.

We enter our studies, and enjoy a

another; we give no offence to the most 
illustrious by questioning him as long 
as we will, and leaving him as abruptly. 
Diversity of opinion raises no tumult in 
our presence; each interlocutor stands 
before us, speaks or is silent, and we 
adjourn or decide the business at our 
leisure.

Emerson. Society and Solitude. Success. 

We get no good 
By being ungenerous, even to a book, 
And calculating profits, — so much help 
By so much reading. It is rather when 
We gloriously forget ourselves and 

plunge 
Soul-forward, headlong, into a book's 

profound, 
Impassioned for its beauty and salt of 

truth— 
'Tis then we get the right good from a 
book.

Shakespeare. Hamlet. Act i. Sc. 3. 1. 75. 

The Old Testament recognizes that the 
position of a borrower is humiliating: 
"The borrower is servant to the Lender" 
(Proverbs xxii. 7). " He that goes a-borrow- 
ing goes a-sorrowing," says Franklin, in 
Poor Richard's Almanac for 1757— a phrase 
that he cribbed from Thomas Tusser : 
Who goeth a-borrowing 
Goeth a-sorrowing.

BOSTON. 

The hub of the universe. 

Hub is provincial English for a knob, a 
boss. In the United States it survives as 
the name for the center of a spoked wheel. 
The jest about Boston's being the hubof the 
universe, or simply the hub, had its origin 
with Oliver Wendell Holmes: 

A jaunty-looking person . . . said that 
there was one more wise saying that he had 
heard. It was about our place, but he didn't 
know who said it: 

" Boston State-house is the hub of the solar 
system. You couldn't pry that out of a Bos- 
ton man if you had the tire of all creation 
straightened out for a cross-bar." 

"Sir," saidl, " I am gratified with yourre- 
mark. It expresses with pleasing vivacity 
that which I have sometimes heard uttered 
with malignant dulness. The satire of the 
remark is essentially true of Boston, and of 
all other considerable and inconsiderable 
places with which I have had the privilege 
of being acquainted." 
Aidocrat of the Breakfast Table, vi. (1859). 

A few sentences further down in the same 
book Dr. Holmes adds : 

The axis of the earth sticks out visibly 
through the center of each and every town 
or city. 

The hub, In America, Is the nave or center- 
piece of the wheel from which the spokes 
radiate, and on which the wheel turns. 
. . . Massachusetts has been the wheel 
within New England, and Boston the wheel

many popular ballads. In 1840 a posthu- 
mous collection of these ballads was pub- 
lished under the title of Lyra Urhanica, in 
which the couplet appears as above. The 
song was more popularly known as " Billy 
Pitt and the Farmer," and is so called in 
Debrett's Asylum for Fugitive Pieces, where 
the couplet takes a slightly different form, 
viz.: 

Solid men of Boston, make no long orations! 
Solid men of Boston, banish strong potations.

Shakespeare. Hamlet. Act iii. Sc. 2.

[For context see Hamlets speech to the 
Looted uuder Actor. The phrase is 
an allusion to the rant and raving of the old 
stage king of Jewry in the Mystery Plays. 
Though it has now lost well-nigh all its 
pith, and is often most ridiculously misap- 
plied, it still retained abundant meaning in 
Shakespeare's day. The graybeards among 
the great playwright's audience might well 
remember to have heard their grandfathers 
repeat such fustian as this, from Herod's 
mode of Heroding it in the Miracle Play 
entitled " The Offering of the Three Kings " : 
I am the greatest above degree 
That is, or was, or ever shall be; 
The sun it dare not shine on me 
And I bid him go down. 
Elsewhere he claims to be the maker of 
heaven and hell, to wield the thunderbolts, 
and kill all his enemies by one wink of his 
eye: and he calls the infant Christ "amis- 
begotten marmoset." This is speaking in 
Character with such a vengeance that to 
out-Herod Herod must have been well-nigh 
impossible.]

BUD.— EDMUND BURKE. 



This phrase of Walpole's has been turned 
by persistent misquotation into the brutal 
cynicism, "All men have their prices," a 
sentiment which Byron, probably under the 
impression that he was following Walpole, 
has made his own : 

'Tis pleasant purchasing our fellow-crea- 
tures ; 
And all are to be sold, if you consider 
Their passions, and are dext'rous; some by 
features 
Are bought up, others by a warlike leader ; 
Some by a place— as tend their years or 

natures ; 
The most by ready cash— but all have prices, 
From crowns to kicks, according to their 
vices. 
Byron. Don Juan. Canto v. St. 27. 



BUD. 

Romeo. This bud of love, by summer's 
ripening breath, 
May prove a beauteous flower when

Burke, sir, is such a man that if you 
met him for the first time in the street, 



when you were stopped by a drove of 
oxen, and you and he stepped aside to 
take shelter but for five minutes, he'd 
talk to you in such a manner that when 
you parted you would say, " This is an 
extraordinary man." 

Johnson. BosweU's Life of Johnson. 

And the final event to himself has 
been that, as he rose like a rocket, he 
fell like a stick. 

Thomas Paine. Letter to the Addressers. 

Lockhart, in a review of the " Pickwick 
Papers" in the Quarterly Review, applied 
Paine's phrase to Dickens, predicting that 
" he has risen like a rocket and he will come 
down like the stick." The author meeting 
the critic shortly afterward retorted, " I will 
watch for that stick, Mr. Lockhart, and when 
it does come down I will break it across 
your back." 

Here lies our good Edmund, whose 

genius was such, 
We scarcely can praise it or blame it too 

much ; 
Who, born for the universe, narrowed 

his mind, 
And to party gave up what was meant 

for mankind. 
Though fraught with all learning, yet 

straining his throat 
To persuade Tommy Townshend to lend 

him a vote ; 
Who, too deep for his hearers, still went 

on refining, 
And thought of convincing while they 

thought of dining : x 
Though equal to all things, for all things 

unfit; 
Too nice for a statesman ; too proud for 

a wit; 
For a patriot too cool ; for a 'drudge dis- 
obedient ; 
And too fond of the right to pursue the 

expedient. 
In short, 'twas his fate, unemployed or 

in place, sir, 
To eat mutton cold, and cut blocks with 

a razor. 

Goldsmith. Retaliation. 1. 29. 

1 Burke was facetiously known as the 
" Dinner Bell," because while his eloquence 
on great occasions always captured the 
house, his wearisome interest in dry detail 
on lesser matters actually drove the mem- 
bers to their dinners.

Excepting February alone, 
Which hath but twenty-eight, in fine, 
Till leap-year gives it twenty-nine.

Perceiv'st thou not the process of the 

year, 
How the four seasons in four forms ap- 
pear, 
Resembling human life in ev'ry shape 

they wear? 
Spring first, like infancy, shoots out her 

head, 
With milky juice requiring to be 

fed : ... 
Proceeding onward whence the year 

began, 
The Summer grows adult, and ripens 

into man. . . . 
A utumn succeeds, a sober, tepid age, 
Not froze with fear, nor boiling into 

rage; ... 
Last, Winter creeps along with tardy 

pace. 
Sour is his front, and furrowed is his 

face. 
Dbyden. Of Pythagorean Phil. From 
Fifteenth Book Ovid's Metamorphoses. 
1. 296. 

These, as they change, Almighty Father, 

these 
Are but the varied God. The rolling 

year 
Is full of Thee. Forth in the pleasing 

Spring 
Thy beauty walks, thy tenderness and 

love. 



Then comes Thy glory in the Summer 
months, 

With light and heat refulgent. Then 
Thy sun 

Shoots full perfection through the swell- 
ing year ; 



Thy bounty shines in Autumn uncon- 
fined, 

And spreads a common feast for all that 
live. 

In Winter awful Thou ! with clouds and 
storms 

Around Thee thrown, tempest o'er tem- 
pest roll'd, 

Majestic darkness I on the whirlwind's 
wing, 

Riding sublime. 

Thomson. Hymn. 1. 1.

And that all seas are made calme and

And the burden laid upon me 

Seemed greater than I could bear.

We would willingly have others perfect,

liberty of others displeaseth us, and yet we 
will not have our own desires denied us. 
We will have others kept under by strict

strained. And thus it appeareth how seldom 
we weigh our neighbor in the same balance 
with ourselves.

Lo ! thy dread empire, Chaos, is re-

Thy hand, great Anarch, lets the curtain

And universal darkness buries all.

CHARACTER. 

Every man has three characters : that 
which he exhibits, that which he has. 
and that which he thinks he has. 

A. Kakk. 

This is a curious anticipation of Dr. 
Holmes's paradox, wherein he makes his 
Autocrat announce to the startled break- 
fast-table that when John and Thomas, for 
instance, are talking together, " it is natural 
enough that among the six there should be 
more or less confusion and misapprehen- 
sion." He calms all suspicion as to his 
sanity by enumerating the six, as follows : 
f 1. The real John; known 
only to his Maker. 

2. John's ideal John ; never 
the real one, and often 
very unlike him. 

3. Thomas's ideal John; 
never the real John, 
nor John's John, but 
often very unlike 
either. 

1. The real Thomas. 

2. Thomas's ideal 
Thomas. 

3. John's ideal Thomas.

CHARITY. 

Charity shall cover the multitude of 
sins. 

New Testament. I. Peter iv. 8. 

Go and sell that thou hast, and give 
to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure 
in heaven : and come and follow Me. 
Ibid. St. Matthew xix. 21. 

Though I speak with the tongues of 
men and of angels, and have not charity, 
I am become as sounding brass, or a 
tinkling cymbal. 

2 And though I have the gift of 
prophecy, and understand all mysteries, 
and all knowledge ; and though I have 
all faith, so that I could remove moun- 
tains, and have not charity, I am noth- 
ing. 

3 And though I bestow all my goods 
to feed the poor, and though I give my 
body to be burned, and have not charity, 
it profiteth me nothing. 

4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind ; 
charity envieth not; charity vaunteth 
not itself, is not puffed up, 

5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, 
seeketh not her own, is not easily pro- 
voked, thinketh no evil ; 

6 Kejoiceth not in iniquity, but re- 
joiceth in the truth ; 

7 Beareth all things, believeth all 
things, hopeth all things, endureth all 
things. 

Ibid. I. Corinthians xiii. 1-7. 

The desire of power in excess caused 
the angels to fall ; the desire of knowl- 
edge in excess caused man to fall ; but 
in charity there is no excess ; neither can 
angel or man come in danger by it. 
Bacon. Essays, xiii. Of Goodness. 

Biron. Charity itself fulfils the law, 
And who can sever love from charity ?

Pope. Essay on Man. Ep. iii. 1. 307. 

Pity the sorrows of a poor old man,

Whose days are dwindled to the shortest

Oh give relief, and Heaven will bless

Douglas Jerrold. A Charitable Man.

wish'd) a friend.

In charity to all mankind, bearing no 
malice or ill-will to any human being, 
and even compassionating those who 
hold in bondage their fellow-men, not 
knowing what they do. 

John Quincy Adams. Letter to A. Bron- 
son. July 30, 1838. 

With malice toward none; with 
charity for all ; with firmness in the 
right, as God gives us to see the right, 
let us strive on to finish the work we are 
in; to bind up the nation's wounds; to 
care for him who shall have borne the 
battle, and for his widow, and his 
orphan — to do all which may achieve 
and cherish a just and lasting peace 
among ourselves, and with all nations. 
Lincoln. Second Inaugural Address.

CHILDHOOD, CHILDREN. 



I had a little daughter, 

And she was given to me

To this wayward soul of mine.

Nations, like men, have their infancy. 
Lord Bolingbroke. Of the Study of 
lliMurij. Letter It. 

Behold the child, by nature's kindly 
law, 

Pleased with a rattle, tickled with a 

straw : 
Some livelier plaything gives his youth 

delight, 
A little louder, but as empty quite : 
Scarfs, garters, gold, amuse his ripe 

stage, 
And beads and prayer-books are the 

toys of age : 
Pleased with this bauble still, as that 

before ; 
Till tired he sleeps,. and life's poor play 

is o'er.

CHIVALRY. 

I saw young Harry, with his beaver on, 
His cuisses on his thighs, gallantly 

arm'd, 
Rise from the ground like feather' d

And vaulted with such ease into his seat, 
As if an angel dropp'd down from the 

clouds, 
To turn and wind a fiery Pegasus, 
And witch the world with noble horse- 
manship. 

Shakespeare. Henry IV. Pt. i. Act 
iv. Sc. 1. 1. 104. 



Ulysses. The youngest son of Priam, a 

true knight: 
Not yet mature, yet matchless ; firm of 

word ; 
Speaking in deeds, and deedless in his 

tongue ; 
Not soon provoked, nor being provoked 

soon calm'd ; 
His heart and hand both open, and both 

free; 
For what he has he gives ; what thinks 

he shews ; 
Yet gives lie not till judgment guide his 

bounty, 
Nor dignifies an impair thought with 

breath. 
Shakespeare. Troilus and Cressida. 
Act iv. Sc. 5. 1. 96. 

A knight there was, and that a worthy 

man, 
That from the time that he first began 
To riden out, he loved chivalry, 
Truth and honour, freedom and courtesy. 

And though that he was worthy, he was 

wise, 
And of his port as meek as is a maid. 
He never yet no villainy ne said 
In all his life, unto no manner wight. 
He was a very parfit gentle knight. 
Chaucer. Canterbury Tales. Prologue. 

It is now sixteen or seventeen years 
since I saw the Queen of France, then 
the Dauphiness, at Versailles; and 
surely never lighted on this orb, which 
she hardly seemed to touch, a more de- 
lightful vision. I saw her just above 
the horizon, decorating and cheering the 
elevated sphere she just began to move 
in, — glittering like the morning star 
full of life and splendour and joy. 
. . . Little did I dream that I should 
have lived to see such disasters fallen 
upon her in a nation of gallant men, — 
in a nation of men of honour and of 
cavaliers. I thought ten thousand 
swords must have leaped from their 
scabbards to avenge even a look that 
threatened her with insult. But the 
age of chivalry is gone ; that of sophis- 
ters, economists, and calculators has suc- 
ceeded.

stood next to the stable door ; so that every

godliness."

Talmud, where Phinehas-ben-Jair says : 
" The doctrines of religion are resolved into 
carefulness ; carefulness into vigorousness ; 
vigorousness into guiltlessness ; guiltless-

into cleanliness ; cleanliness into godli-

Ant. Sometime we see a cloud that 's

A vapour, sometime, like a bear or lion, 
A tower'd citadel, a pendant rock, 
A forked mountain, or blue promontory 
With trees upon 't, that nod unto the 

world 
And mock our eyes with air : thou hast 

seen these signs ; 
Tiny are black vesper's pageants. 
Eros. Ay, my lord. 

Ant. That which is now a horse, even

As when from mountain-tops the dusky 

clouds 
Ascending, while the north wind sleeps, 

o'erspread

Scowls o'er the darkened landscape snow, 

or shower, 
If chance the radiant sun with farewell 

sweet 
Extend his evening beam, the fields 

revive, 
The birds their notes renew, and bleat- 
ing herds 
Attest their joy, that hill and valley 

rings.

There does a sable cloud 
Turn forth her silver lining on the night.

COCK. 



A cloud lay cradled near the setting 

sun, 
A gleam of crimson tinged its braided 

snow; 

Tranquil its spirit seemed and floated 

slow! 
Even in its very motion there was rest ; 
While every breath of eve that chanced 

to blow 
Wafted the traveller to the beauteous 
west. 
John Wilson. Isle of Palms and other 
Poems. The Evening Cloud. 

I saw two clouds at morning, 

Tinged by the rising sun, 
And in the dawn they floated on, 

And mingled into one. 
John G. C. Brainard. Epithalamium. 

I bring fresh showers for the thirsting 
flowers, 
From the seas and the streams ; 
I bear light shade for the leaves when 
laid 
In their noon-day dreams. 

Shelley. The Cloud. 1. 1. 

I am the daughter of earth and water, 

And the nursling of the sky : 
I pass through the pores of the ocean 
and shores; 
I change, but I cannot die. 

Ibid. The Cloud. 1. 73. 

From my wings are shaken the dews 
that waken 
The sweet buds every one, 
When rocked to rest on their mother's 
breast, 
As she dances about the sun. 
I wield the flail of the lashing hail, 

And whiten the green plains under 
And then again I dissolve it in rain, 
And laugh as I pass in thunder. 

IUd. The Cloud. 1. 5. 

I sift the snow on the mountains below, 

And their great pines groan aghast ; 
And all the night 'tis my pillow white, 

While I sleep in the arms of the blast. 
Sublime on the towers of my skyey 
bowers 

Lightning my pilot sits ; 
In a cavern under is fettered the 
thunder, 

It struggles and howls at fits ; 



Over earth and ocean with gentle motion 

This pilot is guiding me, 
Lured by the love of the genii that move 

In the depths of the purple sea ; 
Over the rills, and the crags, and the hills, 

Over the lakes and the plains, 
Wherever he dream, under mountain or 
stream, 
The Spirit he loves remains ; 
And I all the while bask in heaven's 
blue smile, 
Whilst he is dissolving in rains. 

Shelley. The Cloud. 1. 13.

Whether in sea or fire, in earth or air, 
The extravagant and erring spirit hies 
To his confine ; and of the truth herein 
This present object made probation.

Amicus Plato sed magis arnica Veritas. 
Plato is my friend, but a greater friend

Latin Proverb. 

The phrase is a gradual evolution from 
Plato's report of a favorite saying of Socrates 
to his disciples : 

I would ask you to be thinking of the 
truth, and not [of Socrates ; agree with me 
if I seem to you to be speaking the truth ; 
or, if not, withstand me might and main, 
that I may not deceive you as well as myself 
in my enthusiasm. 

Phxdo. Ch. xci. 

Paraphrasing this saying, Aristotle was 
wont to say: 

Socrates is my friend, but a greater friend 
is truth. 

Ammonius. Life of Socrates. 

Ammonius wrote in Latin, not Greek. It 
was his Latinized version which became 
proverbial. In course of time "Plato" 
came to be substituted for " Socrates," and 
so the phrase comes down to us. Cicero 
rejects the lesson of the maxim, for he ex- 
pressly says : 

Errare mehercule malo cum Platone 
. . . quam cum istis vera sentire. 

In very truth I would rather be wrong 
with Plato than right with such men as 
these. 
Cicero. Tusculanse Disputationes. \. 17, 39. 

Now the "istis," the "such men," to 
whom Cicero contemptuously refers are the 
Pythagoreans. Curiously enough, however, 
he indorsed a Pythagorean, not a Platonic 
method. For while Plato evidently ap- 
proved of Socrates's preference of the truth 
over the individual, the disciples of Pytha- 
goras adopted as their motto, " The master 
has said it," or simply "he has said it," 
whence we get the Latin, " Ipse dixit." 

Cicero's sentiment finds an echo in 
Byron's line: 

Better to err with Pope than shine with 
Pye.

COMPENSA TION.- CONCEIT. 



COMPENSATION. 

Ye who listen with credulity to the 
whispers of fancy, and pursue with eager- 
ness the phantoms of hope ; who expect 
that age will perform the promises of 
youth, and that the deficiencies of the 
present day will be supplied by the 
morrow, — attend to the history of Ras- 
selas, Prince of Abyssinia. 

Johnson. Easselas. Ch. i. 

I called the New World into exist- 
ence to redress the balance of the Old. 

George Canning. The King's Message. 
Dec. 12, 1826. 

Time still, as he flies, brings increase to 

her truth, 
And gives to her mind what he steals 

from her youth. 
Edward Moore. The Happy Marriage. 

COMPROMISE. 

All government, — indeed, every 

human benefit and enjoyment, every 

virtue and every prudent act, — is 

founded on compromise and barter. 

Burke. Speech on the Conciliation of 

America. Vol. ii. p. 169. 

The concessions of the weak are the 
concessions of fear. 

Ibid. Speech on the Conciliation of 
America. Vol. ii. p. 108. 

Life cannot subsist in society but by 
reciprocal concessions. 
Johnson. Letter to J. Boswell, Esq. 1766. 

CONCEALMENT. 

When you try to conceal your 
wrinkles, Polla, with paste made from 
beans, you deceive yourself, not me. 
Let a defect, which is possibly but 
small, appear undisguised. A fault con- 
cealed is presumed to be great. 

Martial. Epigrams. Bk. iii. Ep. 42. 

Viola. She never told her love, 
But let concealment, like a worm i' th' 

bud, 
Feed on her damask cheek ; she pin'd 

in thought ; 
And with a green and yellow melan- 
choly, 
She sat like patience on a monument, 
Smiling at grief. 

Shakespeare. Twelfth Night. Act ii. 
Se.4. 1.113. 



Lucetta. They love least, that let men 

know their love. 
Shakespeare. Two Gentlemen of Verona. 
Act i. Sc. 2. 1. 32. 

In many ways doth the full heart reveal 
The presence of the love it would con- 
ceal. 

Coleridge. Motto to Poems written in 
- Later Life. 

There is no den in the whole world to 
hide a rogue : commit a crime and the 
earth is made of glass. 

Emerson. Compensation. 



CONCEIT. 

(See Braggart, Egotism, Vanity.) 

Seest thou a man wise in his own con- 
ceit ? There is more hope of a fool than 
of him. 

Old Testament. Proverbs xxvi. 12. 

Wiser in his own conceit than twelve 
men who can render a reason. 

Ibid. Proverbs xxvi. 16. 

Be not wise in your own conceits. 

New Testament. Romans xii. 16. 

Ghost. But look, amazement on thy 
mother sits : 
O, step between her and her fighting 

soul ! 

Conceit in weakest bodies strongest 
works. 
Shakespeare. Hamlet. Act iii. Sc. 4. 
1. 110. 

Juliet. Conceit, more rich in matter 
than in words, 
Brags of his substance, not of ornament : 
They are but beggars that can count 
their worth. 
Ibid. Romeo and Juliet. Act ii. Sc. 6. 
1. 29. 
[In both of the above Shakespearean ex- 
cerpts, as, indeed, generally in Shakespeare, 
" conceit " is used in the sense of " concep- 
tion " or " imagination." But in both cases 
the lines are frequently quoted as if the 
word meant " Vanity " or " egotism."] 

Conceit may puff a man up, but never 
prop him up. 

Ruskin. True and Beautiful. Function 
of the Artist. 



CONFESSION- CON Q UEST. 



133 



CONFESSION. 

Confiteor, si quid prodest delicta 
fatrri. 

I will confess ; if it advantages 
In aught to own one's faults. 

Ovid. Amores. ii. 4, 3. 

Sit errant i medecina confessio. 

May confession be a medicine to the 
erring. 

Cicero. Ad Octavium. 

[This is probably the original of the 
familiar proverb : 

An open confession is good for the soul.] 

Confession of our faults is the next 
thing to innocencv. 

Syrus. Maxim 1060. 

He's half absolv'd who has confessed. 
Prior. Alma. Canto ii. 1. 22. 

Hamlet. Confess yourself to heaven : 
Repent what's past; avoid what is to 
come. 
Shakespeare. Hamlet. Act iii. Sc. 4. 
1. 149. 

Come, now again thy woes impart, 
Tell all thy sorrows, all thy sin ; 
We cannot heal the throbbing heart, 
Till we discern the wounds within. 

Crabbe. Hall of Justice. Pt. ii. 

CONFIDENCE. 

Confidence is a plant of slow growth 
in an aged bosom. 
Earl of Chatham. Speech. Jan. 14, 1766. 

I see before me the statue of a cele- 
brated minister, who said that confidence 
w;i- a plant of slow growth. But I be- 
lieve, however gradual may be the 
growth of confidence, that of credit re- 
quires still more time to arrive at 
maturity. 

Disraeli. Speech. Nov. 9, 1867. 

Confidence is a thing not to be pro- 
duced by compulsion. Men cannot be 
forced into trust. 

Daniel Webster. Speech, United States 
Senate, Session of 1833-34. The Re- 
moval of the Deposits. 

I see my way as birds their trackless 

way. 
I shall arrive, — what time, what circuit 

first, 



I ask not ; but unless God send his hail 
Or blinding fire-balls, sleet, or stitling 

snow, 
In some time, his good time, I shall 

arrive : 
He guides me and the bird. In his 

good time. 

Browning. Paracelsus. Pt. i. 1. 561. 

CONQUEST. 

He that is slow to anger is better than 
the mighty: and he that ruleth his 
spirit than he that taketh a citv. 

Old Testament. Proverbs ivi. 32. 

Bis vincit qui se vincit in victoria. 
He conquers twice who conquers himself 
in victory. 

Syrus. Maxims. 
I count him braver who overcomes his 
desires than him who conquers his enemies ; 
for the hardest victory is the victory over 
self. 

Aristotle. (Stobaeus, Frobenius ed. p. 
223.) 

There is a victory and defeat— the first 
and best of victories, the lowest and worst 
of defeats— which each man gains or sus- 
tains at the hands not of another, but of 
himself. 

Jowett. Plato. Laws. i. 3. 

The enemy is within the gates ; it is with 
our own luxury, our own folly, our own 
criminality that we have to contend. 

Cicero. In Catilinam. ii. 5, 11. 

Quis habet fortius certamen quam qui 
nititur vincere seipsum? 

Who has a harder fight than he who is 
striving to overcome himself? 

Thomas A Kempis. Be Imitatione Christi. 
i. 3, 3. 

Thrice noble is the man who of him- 
self is king. 

Phineas Fletcher. Apollyonists. Canto 
iii. St. 10. 

In vaine he seeketh others to suppresse, 
Who hath not learnd himselfe first to sub- 
due. 

Spenser. Faerie Quccne. Bk. vi. Canto 
i. St. 41. 

Man who man would be, 
Must rule the empire of himself! in it 
Must be supreme, establishing his throne 
On vanquished will, quelling the anarchy 
Of hopes and fears, being himself alone. 
Shelley. Sonnet. Political Greatness. 

When the fight begins within himself 

A man's worth something. 

R. Browning. Bishop Blougram's Apology.

CONSCIENCE. 



No man is such a conqueror as the 
man who has defeated himself. 

Henry Ward Beecher. Proverbs from 
Plymouth Pulpit. 

Richard's himself again ! 

Colley Cibber. Richard III. {altered 
by). Act v. Sc. 3. 

Lord of himself — that heritage of woe ! 
Byron. Lara. Canto i. St. 2. 

Lord of himself, though not of lands ; 
And having nothing, yet hath all. 

Wotton. Character of a Happy Life. 

Like Douglas conquer, or like Douglas 

die. 
John Home. Douglas. Act v. Sc. 1. 1. 100. 

Conquest has explored more than ever 
curiosity has done ; and the path of 
science has been commonly opened by 
the sword. 

SynNEY Smith. 

Conquest pursues where courage leads 
the way. 
Garth. The Dispensary. Canto iv. 1. 99. 

CONSCIENCE. 

Hamlet. Thus conscience does make 

cowards of us all ; 
And thus the native hue of resolution 
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of 

thought ; 
And enterprises of great pith and 

moment, 
With this regard, their currents turn 

awry, 
And lose the name of action. 

Shakespeare. Hamlet. Act iii. Sc. 1. 
1. 83. 

Guilty consciences always make people 
cowards.

Minister. Ch. iii. Fable iii.

Sc. 6. 1. 11. 

Theseus. Or in the night, imagining some 
fear, 
How easy is a bush supposed a bear !

A lamb appears a lion, and we fear 
Each bush we see's a bear.

When Conscience wakens who can with 

her strive ? 
Terrors and troubles from a sick soul 

drive ? 
Naught so unpitying as the ire of sin, 
The inappeas'ble Nemesis within. 

Abraham Coles. The Light of the World. 
p. 314 

conscience, into what abyss of fears 
And horrors hast thou driven me ; out 

of which 

1 find no way, from deep to deeper 

plung'd ! 
Milton. Paradise Lost. Bk. x. 1. 842. 

Now conscience wakes despair 
That slumber'd — wakes the bitter 

memory 

Of what he was, what is, and what must 
be worse.

Which now suits with it.

First Murderer. So when he opens his 
purse to give us our reward, thy con- 
science flies out. 

Second Murderer. Let it go; there's 
few or none will entertain it. 

First Murderer. How if it come to 
thee again? 

Second Murderer. I'll not meddle with 
it. It is a dangerous thing. It makes 
a man a coward. A man cannot steal 
but it accuseth him : he cannot swear 
hut it cheeks him : 'tis a blushing 
shame-faced spirit that mutinies in a 
man's bosom ; it Alls one full of ob- 
stacles ; it made me once restore a purse 
of gold that I found: it beggars any 
man that keeps it ; it is turned out of 
all towns and cities for a dangerous 
thing. 

First Murderer. Zounds I it is even 
now at my elbow. 

Shakespeare. Richard III. Act i. Sc. 4.

to-night 
Have struck more terror to the soul of 

Kichard 
Than can the substance of ten thousand 
soldiers. 
Ibid. Richard III. Act v. Sc. 3. 1. 216.

Conscience, avaunt ! Richard's himself 

again I 
Harkl the shrill trumpet sounds to 

horse I away! 
My soul's in arms, and eager for the 

fray. 

COLLEY ClBBER. 

[Cibber interpolates these lines in Act v. 
He 8. of his altered version of Shakespeare's 
Richard III.] 

Hamlet. I have heard, 

That guilty creatures, sitting at a play, 
Have, by the very cunning of the scene, 
Been struck so to the soul, that presently 
They have proclaim'd their malefac- 
tions : 



For Murder, though it have no tongue, 

will speak 
With most miraculous organ. I'll have 

these players 
Play something like the murder of my 

father, 
Before mine uncle ; I'll observe his 

looks ; 
I'll tent him to the quick: if he but 

blench, 

I know my course 

. . . . The play's the thing, 
Wherein I'll catch the conscience of the 

King. 
Shakespeare. Hamlet. Act ii. Sc. 2. 1. 
584. 

A woman that hath made away her husband, 

And sitting to behold a tragedy, 

At Lynn, a town in Norfolk, 

Acted by players travelling that way,— 

Wherein a woman that had murdered hers 

Was ever haunted by her husband's ghost ; 

The passion written by a feeling hand, 

And acted by a good tragedian,— 

She was so moved with the sight thereof 

As she cried out, " The play was made by 

her," 
And openly confessed her husband's mur- 
der.

CONSERVATISM. 

The Atlantic Ocean beat Mrs. Part- 
ington. 

Sydney Smith. 

[In a speech at Taunton, in the year 1831, 
Sydney Smith satirized the Conservative 
attempts in the House of Lords to stay the 
progress of reform, by likening that august 
body to " the excellent Mrs. Partington " 
on the occasion of the great storm at Sid- 
mouth in 1824. " In the midst of this sub- 
lime and terrible storm," said Smith , " Dame 
Partington, who lived upon the bench, was 
seen at the door of her house with mop and 
pattens, trundling her mop, squeezing out 
the sea water, and vigorously pushing away 
the Atlantic Ocean. The Atlantic was 
roused; Mrs. Partington's spirit was up; 
but I need not tell you that the contest was 
unequal. The Atlantic beat Mrs. Parting- 
ton. She was excellent at a slop or a 
puddle, but should never have meddled 
with a tempest." 

This little apologue had immense success, 
and, ever since, Mrs. Partington has been a 
synonym for a bigoted, fussy, anil incor- 
rigible conservative. When the present 
Duke of Devonshire, then the Marquess of 
Hartington, was in this country in 1862 he 
wore a secession badge in his buttonhole. 
Lincoln, when the two met, persisted in 
calling him Mr. Partington. " Surely," says 
Lowell in his essay. On a Certain Conde- 
scension in Fon iijncrs, "the refinement of 
good breeding could go no further,"]

CONSISTENCY— CONSTANCY. 



A conservative government is an or- 
ganized hypocrisy. 

Disraeli. Speech, March 17, 1845. 



CONSISTENCY. 



Consistency's a jewel. 



Old Pi-overb. 



This is one of a numher of popular say- 
ings in which this or that virtue is compared 
to this or that jewel, or, generally, to a 
jewel. Thus Shakespeare says : 

Unless experience be a jewel. 
Merry Wives of Windsor. Act ii. Sc. 2. 

In 1867 a newspaper wag succeeded for a 
time in hoaxing the unwary into accepting 
his statement that the following lines ap- 
peared in a ballad entitled Jolly Robin 
Roughead, in " Murtagh's Collection of Bal- 
lads," published in 1754 (both ballad and 
book being figments of his imagination) : 
Tush, tush, my lass, such thoughts resign, 

Comparisons are cruell ; 
Fine pictures suit to frames as fine,— 

Consistencie's a jewell. 

With consistency a great soul has 
simply nothing to do. . . . Speak 
what you think to-day in hard words, 
and to-morrow speak what to-morrow 
thinks in hard words again, though it 
contradict everything you said to-day. 
Emekson. Essays. Self-Reliance. 

A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin 
of little minds, adored by little states- 
men and philosophers and divines. 

Ibid. Essays. Self-Reliance. 

Do I contradict myself? 
Very well then I contradict myself. 
(I am large, I contain multitudes.) 
Walt Whitman. Song of Myself. St. 51.

Exactness is the sublimity of fools. 
Attributed to Fontenelle, who disclaimed it. 

Gineral C. is a dreffle smart man : 
He' s been on all sides that give places 
or pelf ; 
Bat consistency still wuz a part of his

He's been true to one party, and that 
is, himself; — 
So John P. 
Robinson, he 
Sez he shall vote for Gineral C.

Robinson Thinks. Series i. No. 3. 



I think you will find that people who 
honestly mean to be true really contra- 
dict themselves much more rarely than 
those who try to be "consistent."

Table. Ch. ii.

Lady M. What beast was 't then, 

That made you break this enterprise tome? 
When you durst do it, then you were a

And, to be more than what you were, you 

would 
Be so much more the man.

Shall never tremble : Or, be alive again, 
And dare me to the desert with thy sword ; 
If trembling I inhabit then, protest me 
The baby of a girl. Hence, horrible shadow I 

[Ghost disappears. 
Unreal mockery, hence !— Why, so ;— being

his approach . . . the Elector's chan-

many devils at Worms as tiles on its roofs, 
I would enter."

To teach thee safety ! thou art perjur'd

fool art thou, 
A ramping fool, to brag, and stamp, and 

swear, 
Upon my party ! Thou cold-blooded 

slave, 
Hast thou not spoke like thunder on my 

side? 
Been sworn my soldier? bidding me 

depend 
Upon thy stars, thy fortune, and thy 

strength ? 
And dost thou now fall over to my foes ?

And hang a calf s skin on those recreant 

limbs.

is still remembered by mankind,— this and 
no other of his many sayings.]

Of that which is of all Creator and

CRIME— CRITICS.

As long as words a different sense will 

bear, 
And each may be his own interpreter, 
Our airy faith will no foundation find ; 
The word's a weathercock for every 
wind. 
Dryden. The Hind and the Panther. Pt.

For forms of government let fools con- 

test ; 
Whatever is best administered is best ; 
For modes of faith let graceless zealots 

fight; 
His can't be wrong whose life is in the 

right. 
Pope. Essay on Man. Epistle iii. 1. 303. 

His faith, perhaps, in some nice tenets 

might 
Be wrong; his life, I'm sure, was in the

CRIME. 

Macbeth. There shall be done 
A deed of dreadful note. 

Shakespeare. Macbeth. Act iii. Sc. 2.

Brutus. Between the acting of a dread- 
ful thing 
And the first motion, all the interim is 
Like a phantasma, or a hideous dream. 
The Genius and the mortal instruments 
Are then in council ; and the state of a 

man, 
Like to a little kingdom, suffers then 
The nature of an insurrection. 

Ibid. Julius Csesar. Act ii. Sc. 1. 1. 63. 

Nor florid prose, nor honeyed lines of 

rhyme, 
Can blazon evil deeds, or consecrate a 

crime. 
Byron. Childe Harold. Canto i. St. 3. 

Giacomo. O that the vain remorse 
which must chastise 
Crimes done, had but as loud a voice to 

warn, 
As its keen sting is mortal to avenge. 
Shelley. Tfie Cenci. Act v. Sc. 1. 1. 2. 

'Tis no sin love's fruits to steal; 
But the sweet thefts to reveal ; 
To be taken, to be seen, 
These have crimes accounted been. 
Ben Jonson. Volpone. Act iii. Sc. 6.

The crime and not the scaffold mak< -

Thos.Corneille. Essex, iv. 3. (Quoted

Non nella pena, 
Nel delitto e la iufamia. 

Disgrace does not consist in the punish- 
ment, but in the crime. 

Alfieri. Antigone, i. 3. 

Let no guilty man escape, if it can be 
avoided. No personal consideration 
should stand in the way of performing

blunder. 
Attributed to Talleyrand, also to Fouche. 

CRITICS. 

The readers and the hearers like my 
books: 
And yet some writers cannot them 

digest ; 
But what care I ? For when I make 
a feast, 
I would my guests should praise it, not 
the cooks.

Blame where you must, be candid where 

you can, 
And be each critic the good-natured man. 
Goldsmith. The Good-natured Man. 



Of all the cants which are canted in 

this canting world, though the cant of 

hypocrites may be the worst, the cant 

of criticism is the most tormenting. 

Sterne. Tristram Shandy. Vol. iii. Ch. 

xii. 

A servile race 
Who in mere want of fault, all merit

Who blind obedience pay to ancient

Bigots to Greece and slaves to musty 
rules. 

Churchill. The Rosciad. 1. 183. 

Which not even critics criticise. 

Cowper. The Task. Bk. iv. 1. 51. 

A man must serve his time to ev'ry 
trade, 

Save censure ; critics all are ready made : 

Take hackney' d jokes from Miller, got 
by rote, 

With just enough of learning to mis- 
quote ; 

A mind well skill'd to find or forge a 
fault, 

A turn for punning — call it Attic salt — 

Fervr not to lie —'twill seem a lucky hit ; 
Shrink not from blasphemy — 'twill pass 

lor wit ; 
Cure not for feeling, pass your proper 

jest ;— 
And stand a critic, hated yet caress'd. 
Byron. English Bards and Scotch Re- 
viewers. 1. 63. 

As soon 
Seek roses in December, ice in June ; 
Hope constancy in wind, or corn in 

chaff: 
Believe a woman or an epitaph, 
Or any other thing that's false, before 
You trust in critics. 

Ibid. English Bards and Scotch Review- 
ers. 1. 75.

Oh, rather give me commentators plain,

Who from the dark and doubtful love to run, 
And hold the glimmering tapers to the sun. 
Crabbe. Introduction to the Parish Reg-

(See also under Sun.) 

You know who critics are ? — the men 
who have failed in literature and art. 
Disraeli. Lothair. Ch. xxxv. 
[Disraeli puts this witticism into the 
mouth of Lord Aldegonde. The thought is 
an old one, and may be found even in the 
classics. Here are a few prominent ex- 
amples from English literature : 

As a bankrupt thief turns thief-taker in 
despair, so an unsuccessful author turns 
critic. 

Shelley. Fragments of Adonais. 
Reviewers are usually people who would 
have been poets, historians, biographers, if 
they could ; they have tried their talents at

CRUELTY- CUCKOO.

The moon of Mahomet 
Arose, and it shall set ; 
While, lilazoned as on heaven's im-

The cross leads generations on. 
Shelley. Hellas. 1. 221. 

CRUELTY. 

Antonio. I pray you, think, you ques- 
tion with the Jew : 
You may as well go stand upon the 

beach, 
And bid the main flood bate his usual 

height ; 
You may as well use question with the 

wolf, 
Why he hath made the ewe bleat for 

the lamb ; 
You may as well forbid the mountain 

pines 
To wag their high tops, and to make no 

noise, 
When they are fretten with the gusts of 

heaven ; 
You may as well do anything most 

hard, 
As seek to soften that (than which what's 

harder?)

because Catherine de Medecis quoted it to

CULTURE— GUPID. 



Thrice welcome, darling of the spring I 

Even yet thou art to me 
No bird, but an invisible thing, 

A voice, a mystery. 

Wordsworth. To the Cuckoo. 

Thou hast no sorrow in thy song, 

No winter in thy year. 
Oh could I fly, I'd fly with thee ! 

We'd make with joyful wing 
Our annual visit o'er the globe, 

Companions of the spring.

Cupid and my Campaspe play'd 
At cards for kisses : Cupid paid. 
He stakes his quiver, bow, and arrows, 
His mother's doves, and team of spar- 
rows: 
Loses them too. Then down he throws 
The coral of his lip, the rose 
Growing on 's cheek (but none knows 

how); 
With these, the crystal of his brow, 
And then the dimple on his chin : 
All these did my Campaspe win. 
At last he set her both his eyes : 
She won, and Cupid blind did rise. 

O Love ! has she done this to thee ? 

What shall, alas ! become of me? 
Lyly. Cupid and Campaspe. Act iii. Sc. 5. 

Helena. Things base and vile, holding 

no quality, 
Love can transpose to form and dignity. 
Love looks not with the eyes, but with 

the mind ; 
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted 

blind. 
Nor hath Love's mind of any judgment 

taste; 
Wings, and no eyes, figure unheedy 

haste : 
And therefore is love said to be a child, 
Because in choice he is so oft beguil'd. 
Shakespeare. Midsummer Night's Dream. 

Act i. Sc. i. 1. 234.

The pretty follies that themselves com- 
mit.

CURIOSITY- CURSE. 



1 .V 






I have heard of reasons manifold 

Why Love must needs be blind, 
But this the best of all I hold,— 

His eves are in bis mind. 
What outward form and feature are 

He guesseth bat in part ; 
But what within is good and fair 

He seeth with tbe heart. 

Coleridge. To a Lady, Offended by a 
Sportive Observation. 

CURIOSITY. 

Lear. I have perceived a most faint 
neglect of late, which I have rather 
blamed as mine own jealous curiosity 
than as a very pretence and purpose of 
unkindness. 

Shakespeare. King Lear. Act i. Sc. 4. 

Curiosity 
Does, no less than devotion, pilgrims 
make. 

Cowley. Ode on Chair made of Sir F. 
Drake's Ship. iv. 

I saw and heard, for we sometimes, 
Who dwell this wild, constrained by 

want, come forth 
To town or village nigh, nighest is far, 
Where aught we hear, and curious are 

to hear, 
What happens new ; fame also finds us 

out.

CURSE. 

As he loved cursing, bo lei it come

As he clothed himself with cursing 

like as with his garment, so let it come

Three Judases, each one thrice worse 
than Judas. 
Shakespeare. Richard II. Act iii. Sc. 
2. 1. 129. 



fe. A plague upon them ! where- 
fore should I curse them ? 

Would curses kill as doth the man- 
drake's groan, 

I would invent as bitter-searching terms, 

As curst, as harsh, and horrible to hear, 

Delivered strongly through my fixed 
teeth, 

With full as many signs of deadly hate, 

As lean-faced Envy in her loathsome cave: 

My tongue should stumble in mine 
earnest words; 

Mine eyes should sparkle like the beaten 
flint; 

My hair be fix'd on end, as one distract ; 

Ay, every joint should seem to curse and 
ban: 

And even now my burthened heart 
would break, 

Should I not curse them. Poison be 
their drink ! 

Gall, worse than gall, the daintiest that 
they taste 1 

Their sweetest shade, a grove of cypress 
trees ! 

Their chiefest prospect, murd'ring basi- 
lisks ! 

Their softest touch, as smart as lizards' 
stings ! 

Their music, frightful as the serpent's 
hiss ; 

And boding screech-owls make the con- 
cert full !

Hamlet. Bloody, bawdy villain ! 
Kemorseless, treacherous, lecherous, 

kindless villain ! 
Why, what an ass am I ! This is most 

brave, 
That I, the son of a dear father murder'd, 
Prompted to my revenge by heaven and 

hell, 
Must, like a whore, unpack my heart 

with words, 
And fall a cursing, like a very drab, 
A scullion I

Ibid. King Lear. Act ii. Sc. 4. 1. 167.

Wash me in steep-down gulfs of liquid 
fire ! 

Ibid. Othello. Act v. Sc. 2. 1. 277.

Each cursed his fate that thus their 

project crossed ; 
How hard their lot who neither won nor 

lost! 

Richard Graves. The Festoon. 

" A jolly place," said he, " in times of 

old! 
But something ails it nuw: the spot is 

cursed." 
Wordsworth. Hart-leap Well. Pt. ii. 

May the strong curse of crushed affec- 
tions light 

Back on thy bosom with reflected blight ! 

And make thee in thy leprosy of mind 

As loathsome to thyself as to mankind ! 

Till all thy self-thoughts curdle into 
hate, 

Black — as thy will for others would 
create : 

Till thy hard heart be calcined into 
dust, 

And thy soul welter in its hideous crust. 

Oli, mav thy grave be sleepless as the 
bed— 

The widowed couch of fire, that thou 
hast spread ! 

Shelley. To the Lord Chancellor. 

I am too well avenged ! but 'twas my 

right ; 
Whatever my sins might be, thou wert 

not sent 
To be the Nemesis who should requite — 
Nor did Heaven choose so near an in- 
strument. 
Mercy is for the merciful ! — if thou 
Hast been of such, 'twill be accorded 

now. 
Thy nights are banished from the realms 

of sleep ! — 
Yes ! they may natter thee, but thou 

shalt feel 
A hollow agony which will not healj 
For thou art pillowed on a curse too 

deep; 
Thou hast sown in my sorrow, and must 

reap 
The bitter harvest of a woe as real ! 
Byron. Lines on hearing that Lady Byron 
was ill. 

'Tis strange the Hebrew noun which 

means " I am," 
The English always use to govern d — n. 
Ibid. Don Juan. Canto i. St. 14. 



Cursed be the social wants that sin 

against the strength of youth ! 
Cursed be the social lies that warp us 

from the living truth ! 
Cursed be the sickly forms that err from 

honest Nature's rule ! 
Cursed be the gold that gilds the 

straighten'd forehead of the fool. 
Tennyson. Locksley Hall. St. 31. 

There's a great text in Galatians, 

Once you trip on it, entails 
Twenty-nine distinct damnations, 

One sure, if another fails. 
If I trip him just a-dying, 

Sure of Heaven as sure can be, 
Spin him round and send him flying 

Off to Hell, a Manichee ? 
Browning. Soliloquy in a Spanish Cloister. 

The cardinal rose with a dignified look, 
He called for his candle, his bell, and 
his book ! 
In holy anger, and pious grief, 
He solemnly cursed that rascally 
thief ! 
He cursed him at board, he cursed him 

in bed : 
From the sole of his foot to the crown 

of his head. 
He cursed him in sleeping, that every 

night 
He should dream of the devil, and wake 

in a fright ; 
He cursed him in eating, he cursed him 

in drinking, 
He cursed him in coughing, in sneezing, 

in winking, 
He cursed him in sitting, in standing, in 

lying ; 
He cursed him in walking, in riding, in 

flying ; 
He cursed him living, he cursed him in 
dying ! 
Never was heard such a terrible 
curse ! 

But, what gave rise 
To no little surprise, 
Nobody seemed a penny the worse !

Ibid. The Gentleman Farmer. 

Custom doth make dotards of us all. 
Philosophy complains that custom has 
hoodwinked us from the first; that we 
do everything by custom, even believe 
by it ; that our very axioms, let us boasl

simply such beliefs as we have never 
heard questioned. 

Oarlyle. 

In this great society wide lying around 
us a critical analysis would find very few-

To spare thee now is past my power 
Thou bonny gem. 
Burns. To a Mountain Daisy on turning 
one down with the Plough. St. 1. 

Even thou who mournst the daisy's fate 
That fate is thine, — no distant date :

Full on thy bloon 
Till crushed "beneath the furrow's weight 
Shall be thy doon. 
Ibid. To a Mountain Daisy on turning 
one down with the Plough. 



Final Ruin fiercely drives 
Her ploughshare o'er creation. 

Young. Night Thoughts, ix. 167. 

Myriads of daisies have shown forth in 

flower 
Near the lark's nest, and in their natural 

hour 
Have passed away ; less happy than the 

one 
That by the unwilling ploughshare died 

to prove 
The tender charm of poetry and love. 
Wordsworth. Poems Composed during a 
Tour in the Summer of 1833. xxxvii.

But hush ! hark I a deep sound strikes

Byron. Childe Harold. Canto iii. St. 21. 

Did ye not hear it?— No; 'twas but the

The ball begins — the honors of the 
house 

First duly done by daughter or by 
spouse, 

Some potentate — or royal or serene — 

With Kent's gay grace, or sapient Glos- 
ter's mien, 

Leads forth the ready dame, whose ris- 
ing flush 

Might once have been mistaken for a 
blush. 

From where the garb just leaves the 
bosom free, 

That spot where hearts were once sup- 
posed to be ; 

Bound all the confines of the yielded 
waist 

The strangest hand may wander undis- 
placed ; 

The lady's in return may grasp as much 

As princely paunches offer to her touch. 

Pleased, round the chalky floor how well 
they trip, 

One hand reposing on the royal hip ; 

The other to the shoulder no less royal 

Ascending with affection truly loyal ! 
Ibid. The Waltz. 1. 184.

me! 

Sir, she's yours ! From the grape you 
have pressed the soft blue I 

From the rose you have taken the tremu- 
lous dew ! 

What you've touched you may take! 
Pretty waltzer, adieu I 

Anon. 

And then he danced, — all foreigners 

excel 
The serious Angles in the eloquence 
Of pantomime ; — he danced, I say, right 

well, 
With emphasis, and also with good 

sense — 
A thing in footing indispensable : 
He danced without theatrical pretence, 
Not like a ballet-master in the van 
Of his drill'd nymphs, but like a gentle- 
man. 
Byron. Don Juan. Canto xiv. St. 38. 

You have the Pyrrhic dance as yet, 
Where is the Pyrrhic phalanx gone ? 

Of two such lessons, why forget 
The noblier and the manlier one ? 

You have the letters Cadmus gave, — 

Think you he meant them for a slave ? 
Ibid. Don Juan. Canto iii. St. 86. 10.

more stirs, 
To rouse a lion than to start a hare ! 
Shakespeare. I. Henry IV. Act i. Sc. 3. 

Hotspur (reading): " The purpose you 
undertake is dangerous:" — why, that's 
certain ; 'tis dangerous to take a cold, 
to sleep, to drink ; — but I tell you, my 
lord fool, out of this nettle, danger, we 
pluck this flower, safety.

Wordsworth. Character of the Happy

Byron". Giaour. 1. 1035. 



DARKNESS. 

Darkness which may be felt. 

Old Testament. Exodus x. 21. 

Clown. There is no darkness but igno- 
rance. 

Shakespeare. Twelfth Night. Act iv. 
Sc. 2. 1. 47. 

A dungeon horrible on all sides round 
As one great furnace flamed, yet from 

these flames 
No light but rather darkness visible 
Served only to discover sights of woe, 
Regions of sorrow, doleful shades. 

Milton. Paradise Lost. Bk. i. 1. 61. 

The fine expression, "Darkness visible," 
offended the critical car of Dr. Bentley, who 
in his famous (or infamous) edition ofMilton 
made this conjectural emendation : 
No light, but rather a transpicuous gloom. 
To poets, however, the expression has 
appealed as worthy of imitation. Thus, 
Thcophilede Viau, a younger contemporary 
of Milton's, seems to have had him in mind 
when he wrote: 
On n'oit que le silence, on ne voit rien que 

l'ombre. 
One hears nothing but silence, one sees 
nothing but darkness. 
Here are some more examples : 
He sees enough who doth his darkness see. 
Lord Herbert of Cherbury. To his 
Mistress for her True Picture. 

Of darkness visible so much be lent. 

Pope. The Dunciad. Bk. iv. 1. 3. 

The evil is null, is naught, is silence imply- 
ing sound. 
Robert Browning. Abt Vogler. St. 9. 

Milton, it may be added, anticipated him- 
self in these lines: 

Where glowing embers through the room 
Teach light to counterfeit a gloom. 

Milton. II Pehseroso. 1. 79. 



And when night 
Darkens the streets, then wander forth 

the sons 
Of Belial, flown with insolence and win.-. 

MILTON. Paradise Lod. Bk.LLC07. 

The waves were dead ; the tides were in 

their grave, 
The Moon, their Mistress, had expired 

before ; 
The winds were wither'd in the stagnant 

air, 
And the clouds perish'd ; darkness had 

no need 
Of aid from them — she was the Universe. 

Byron. Darkness. Concluding lines. 

DAUGHTER. 

Have you not heard these many years 
ago 
Jeptha was .judge of Israel ? 



He had one only daughter and no mo', 
The which he loved passing well ! 
And as by lott, 
God wot, 

It so came to pass, 
As God's will was. 

Jeptha, Judge of Israel. 

An ancient ballad preserved in this form 
in Percy s Relimtex of Ancient Poetry. Hamlet 
quotes a slightly different version: 

Ham. O Jephthah, judge of Israel,— what 
a treasure hadst thou ! 
Pol. What a treasure had he, my lord? 
Ham. Why- 
One fair daughter, and no more, 
The which he loved passing well. 
Pol. Still on my daughter. [Asidt 

Ham. Am I not i' the right, old Jepht hair' 
Pol. If you call me Jephthah. my lord, I 
have a daughter, that I love passing well. 
Ham. Nay, that follows not. 
Pol. What follows then, my lord? 
Ham. Why, 

" As by lot, God wot," 
and then you know, 

" It came to pass, As most like it was." 
Shakespeare. Hamlet. Act ii. Sc. 2. 
1. 422. 

Is thy face like thy mother's, my fair 

child ! 
Ada ! sole daughter of my house and

With less of earth in them than heaven; 
And if there be a human tear 
From passion's dross refined and clear,

DAY. 



A tear so limpid and so meek, 
It would not stain an angel's cheek, 
'Tis that which pious fathers shed 
Upon a duteous daughter's head.

Nor e'er let sleep fall gently on thine eyes

Of the day's doings ; where thou hast trans- 



Where rightly done ; where fallen short of 
duty. 

He said that in his whole life he most re-

mained one whole day without doing any 
business of moment.

leisure,

Browning. Pippa Passes. 1. 13. 

Six hours in sleep, in law's grave study 

six, 
Four spend in prayer, the rest on Nature 
fix. 

[These lines are quoted by Coke in his 
Institutes. Sir William Jones sought to im- 
prove upon them, as follows : 
Seven hours to law, to soothing slumber 

seven, 
Ten to the world allot, and all to heaven. 

Possibly through a confused remembrance 
of the earlier lines, the beginning of Sir 
William's couplet has frequently been mis- 
quoted as "Six hours to law," etc. John 
Wilson Croker in his notes to Boswell's 
Johnson was led astray by this misquota- 
tion. "Sir William," said he, " has short- 
ened his day to twenty-three hours, and the 
general advice of 'all to heaven' destroys 
the peculiar appropriation of a certain 
period to religious exercise." Macaulay, 
in his slashing review of Croker, was. in 
his turn, betrayed into an explanation : 
" Sir William distributes twenty-three hours 
among various employments. One hour is 
thus left for devotion. The reader expects 
that the verse will end with—' and one to 



heaven.' The whole point of the lines con- 
sists in the unexpected substitution of 'air 

fOI 'one.' The COnceil is wreleheil enOQgb ; 
but it is perfectly intelligible, and never, 
we will venture to say, perplexed man, 
woman, or child before/']

Milton. Soiuiet on his Deceased Wife. 
[Leigh Hunt, in the Indicator (eh. lvii., Of 
Dreamt), thus comments on .Milton's lines: 
"It is strange that so good and cordial a 
critic as Warton should think this a mere 
conceit on his blindness. An allusion t.j 
his blindness may or may not be involved 
in it ; but the sense of returning shadow on 
the mind is true to nature, and must have 
been experienced by every one who has 
lost a person dear to him. There is a beau- 
tiful sonnet by Camoens on a similar occa- 
sion, and a small canzone by Sanazzaro, 
which ends with saying that although he 
waked and missed his lady's hand in his, 
he still tried to cheat himself by keeping 
his eyes shut."]

Blair. The Grave. 1. 369. 

Claud. Ay, but to die, and go we know

To lie in cold obstruction, and to rot ; 
This sensible warm motion to become 
A kneaded clod ; and the delighted 

spirit 
To bathe in fiery floods, or to reside 
In thrilling regions of thick-ribbed ice ; 
To be imprison'd in the viewless winds, 
And blown with restless violence round 

about 
The pendent world ; or to be worse than 

worst 
Of those, that lawless and incertain 

thought 
Imagine howling ! — 'tis too horrible ! 
The weariest and most loathed worldly 

life 
That age, ache, penury, and imprison-

Can lay on nature, is a paradise 
To what we fear of death.

In the wide womb of uncreated night, 
Devoid of sense and motion?

Suetontds. Claudius, xxi. 

[This was the cry with which the gladi-

greet the emperor before they commenced 
their fights. Suetonius, in the chapter re- 
ferred to, tells how Claudius once substi- 
tuted for the customary response " Valete !" 
(" Farewell !") the greeting " Avete vos !" or 
" May you live long!" so that the gladiators 
for a brief period refused to fight. Long- 
fellow puts the verb into the first person 
plural, — " Morituri salutamus," — in the title 
of his poem recited (1875) at the semi-cen- 
tennial of the class of 1825 at Bowdoin Col- 
lege. The poem begins : 
" O Csesar ! we who are about to die 
Salute you !" was the gladiators' cry 
In the arena, standing face to face 
With death and with the Roman populace.]

'Tis but to die, 
'Tis but to venture on that common

'Tis but to do, what, at that very 

moment, 
In many nations of the peopled earth, 
A thousand and a thousand shall do 

with me. 

Rowe. Jane Shore. Act iv. Sc. 1. 

To each unthinking being, Heaven, a 

friend, 
Gives not the useless knowledge of its 

end : 
To man imparts it, but with such a view 
As, while he dreads it, makes him hope 

it too : 
The hour conceal'd, and so remote the 

fear, 
Death still draws nearer, never seeming 

near. 
Great standing miracle! that Heaven 

assign'd 
Its only thinking thing this turn of 

mind.

About him, and lies down to pleasant

To hide her shame from every eye, 
To give repentance to her lover, 

And wring his bosom is — to die.

DEATH. 



When the snows begin and the blasts 
denote 
I am nearing the place, 
The power of the night and the press of 
the storm, 
The post of the foe ; 

I Would hate that death bandaged my 
eyes, and forebore, 
And bade me creep past. 
No ! let me taste the whole of it, fare 
like my peers, 
The heroes of old, 
Bear the brunt, in a minute pay glad 
life's arrears 
Of pain, darkness, and cold. 

R. Browning. Prospice. 

O Death the Healer, scorn thou not, I 

pray, 
To come to me : of cureless ills thou art 
The one physician. Pain lays not its 

touch 
Upon a corpse.

But as a harper lays his open palm 
Upon his harp, to deaden its vibrations. 
Longfellow. The Golden Legend, iv. 

Bishop. To fear the foe, since fear 
oppresseth strength, 
Gives, in your weakness, strength unto 

your foe, 
And so your follies fight against your-

Fear, and be slain ; no worse can come 

to fight : 
And fight and die is death destroying 

death ; 
Where fearing dying pays death servile 
breath.

Will come when it will come.

Enforce attention like deep harmony : 



Where words are scarce, they're seldom 

spent in vain : 
For i hey breathe truth, that breathe 

their words in pain : 
He, that no more may say, is listen'd 
more 
Than they whom youth and ease have 
taught to gloze ; 
More are men's ends mark'd than their 
lives before : 
The setting sun, and music at the 
close, 
As the last taste of sweets, is sweetest 

last; 
Writ in remembrance, more than things 
long past. 
Shakespeare. Richard II. Act ii. Sc. 
1. 1. 5. 

Of no distemper, of no blast he died, 

But fell like autumn fruit that mellow'd

Even wonder' d at, because he dropp'd

Fate seem'd to wind him up for four-

Yet freshly ran he on ten winters more ; 

Till like a clock worn out with eating

The wheels of weary life at last stood 
still.

DEATH SCENES. 



Little, gentle, wandering soul, 
Guest and comrade of the body, 
Who departest into space, 
Naked, stiff, and colourless, 
All thy wonted jests are done. 

Emperor Hadrian. (Aelius Spartianus, 
Hadriani Vita.) 

Poor little pretty fluttering thing, 
Must we no longer live together ? 
And dost thou prune thy trembling wing 
To take thy flight, thou know'st not 

whither ? 
Thy humorous vein, thy pleasing folly, 
Lies all neglected, all forgot ; 
And pensive, wavering, melancholy, 
Thou dread'st and hop'st thou know'st 
not what. 

The above is Prior's expansion of Hadrian. 
Pope has made a still freer paraphrase of 
Hadrian's lines, informing them with a 
Christian spirit, in the first stanza of The 
Dying Christian to His Soul : 
Vital spark of heavenly flame, 
Quit, oh quit, this mortal frame! 
Trembling, hoping, lingering, flying, 
Oh, the pain, the bliss of dying ! 

Other lines in Pope's poem are : 
Hark! they whisper; angels say, 
Sister spirit, come away ! 

Tell me, my soul, can this be death? 

Lend, lend your wings ! I mount ! I fly ! 
Oh grave ! where is thy victory? 
Oh death ! where is thy sting ? 

Pope borrowed likewise from an obscure 
poet of the seventeenth century : 
When on my sick-bed I languish, 
Full of sorrow, full of anguish ; 
Fainting, gasping, trembling, crying, 
Panting, groaning, speechless, dying, 
Methinks I hear some gentle spirit say, 
Be not fearful, come away. 

Thomas Flatman (1632-1672). 

As full-blown poppies, overcharg'd with 

rain, 
Decline the head, and drooping kiss the 

plain, — 
So sinks the youth ; his beauteous head, 

deprest 
Beneath his helmet, drops upon his 

breast. 
Pope. The Iliad of Homer. Bk. viii. 1. 371. 

O morte ipsa mortis tempus indignius ' 
More cruel than death itself was the 
moment of death. 

Pliny the Younger. Epistolx. v. 16. 



Hostess. A' made a finer end, and 
went away an it had been any christom 
child ; a' parted just between twelve and 
one ; — e'en at the turning of the tide : 
for after I saw him fumble with the 
sheets, and play with flowers, and smile 
upon his fingers' ends, I knew there was 
but one way ; for his nose was as sharp 
as a pen, and a' babbled of green fields. 1 
How now, Sir John, quoth I : what, man ! 
be of good cheer. So a' cried out, God ! 
— three or four times : now I, to comfort 
him, bid him a' should not think of 
God; I hoped there was no need to 
trouble himself with any such thoughts 
yet. 

Shakespeare. Henry V. Act ii. Sc. 3.

Griffith. At last, with easy roads, he 
came to Leicester, 

Lodg'd in the abbey; where the rever-

"With all his convent, honourably re-

To whom he gave these words, — 0, father 
abbot, 

An old man, broken with the storms of 
state, 

Is come to lay his weary bones among ye; 

Give him a little earth for charity ! 

So went to bed : where eagerly his sick- 
ness 

Pursued him still ; and, three days after 
this, 

About the hour of eight (which he him- 
self 

Foretold should be his last,) full of re- 
pentance, 

Continual meditations, tears, and sor- 
rows, 

He gave his honours to the world again, 

His blessed part to heaven, — and slept 
in peace.

DEBT. 



We watch'd her breathing through the 
night, 

Her breathing soft and low, 
As in her breast the wave of life 

Kept heaving to and fro. 
Our very hopes belied our fears, 

Our fears our hopes belied — 
We thought her dying when she slept, 

And sleeping when she died. 

Hood. The Death-Bed. 

Her suffering ended with the day, 

Yet lived she at its close, 
And breathed the long, long night away 

In statue-like repose. 
But when the sun in all his state 

Illumed the eastern skies, 
She passed through Glory's morning-gate, 

And walked in Paradise. 

James Aldeich. A Death-Bed. 

Pillowed upon my fair love's ripening 
breast, 
To feel forever its soft fall and swell ; 
Awake forever in a sweet unrest; 
Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath ; 
And so live ever or else swoon to death. 
Keats. Last Sonnet. 

Wishing forever in that state to lie- 
Forever to be dying so, yet never die. 
Congreve. On Arabella Hunt : Singing. 

Within her heart was his image, 

Clothed in the beauty of love and youth, 
as last she beheld him, 

Only more beautiful made by his death- 
like silence and absence. 

Into her thoughts of him, time entered 
not, for it was not. 

Over him years had no power ; he was 
not changed, but transfigured. 

Longfellow. Evangeline. 

" People can't die, along the coast," 
said Mr. Peggotty, "except when the 
tide's pretty nigh out. They can't be 
born, unless it's pretty nigh in — not 
properly born, till flood. He's a going 
out with the tide. It' s ebb at half arter 
three, slack water half-an-hour. If he 
lives till it turns, he'll hold his own till 
past the flood, and go out with the next 
tide." . . . And it being low water, 
he went out with the tide. 

Dickens. David Copperfield. Ch. xxx. 

While Enoch slumber'd motionless and 
pale, 

And Miriam watch'd and dozed at in- 
tervals, 



There came so loud a calling of the sea, 
That all the houses in the haven rang. 
He woke, he rose, he spread his arms 

abroad 
Crying with a loud voice, " A sail ! A 

sail! 
I am saved I' ' and so fell back and spoke 

no more. 

Tennyson. Enoch Arden. 

Sunset and evening star, 
And one clear call for me ! 

Ibid. Crossing the Bar. 
[The " calling of the sea " is an old English 
term for a ground-swell. When this occurs 
on a windless night, the sound not only 
echoes through the houses standing near 
the beach, but is heard many miles inland. 
The superstitious look upon it as a summons 
to death. In " Enoch Arden " the old sailor 
is lying at the point of death when to him 
comes the one clear call, which Tennyson, 
looking forward to his own death-hour, rep- 
resents in Crossing the Bar as coming to 
himself. This explanation of the second 
line of the latter poem is obviously in har- 
mony with its whole imagery, and gives 
point and significance to an otherwise some- 
what vague expression.] 

I am going a long way 
With these thou seest — if indeed I go 
(For all my mind is clouded with a 

doubt) — 
To the island-valley of Avilion, 
Where falls not hail or rain or any snow, 
Nor ever wind blows loudly ; but it lies 
Deep-meadow' d, happy, fair with 

orchard lawns 
And bowery hollows crown'd with sum- 
mer sea, 
Where I will heal me of my grievous 
wound.

DEFEAT. 



It is a true saying that one falsehood leads 
easily to another. 

Cicero. Be Oratore. i. 33, 150. 

He who tells a lie is not sensible how 
great a task he undertakes ; for he must be

that one.

arts of deceiving, wherein men find 
pleasure to be deceived. 

Locke. Essay on the Human Understand-

The easiest thing of all is to deceive one's 
self; for what a man wishes he generally 
believes to be true, while things often turn 
out quite differently. 

Demosthenes. Olynthiaca. iii. 19. 

Populus vult decipi, et decipiatur ! 

The people wish to be deceived, then let 
them be deceived ! 

[The phrase is attributed, on no very good 
authority, to Cardinal Carlo Caraffa, "legate 
of his uncle, Pope Paul IV. Its German 
equivalent, " Die Welt will betrogen sein," 
was a popular proverb long before Caraffa's 
time. In its Latin form, " Mundus vult 
decipi," it is found in Sebastian Franck's 
Paradoxi Bucenta Octoginta (ccxxxviii.).] 

Nothing is more easy than to deceive one's

Browning. Paracelsus. Pt. v 

Such a numerous host 
Fled not in silence through the frighted 

deep, 
With ruin upon ruin, rout on rout, 
Confusion worse confounded ; and 

Heaven-gates 
Poured out by millions her victorious 



Pursuing. 

Milton. Paradise Lost. Bk. ii. 1. 993. 

What though the field be lost ? 
All is not lost ; the unconquerable wil?, 
And study of revenge, immortal hate, 
And courage never to submit or yield, 
And what is else not to be overcome ; 
That glory never shall his wrath or 

might 
Extort from me. To bow and sue for 

grace 
With suppliant knee, and deify his 

power, 
Who from the terror of this arm so 

late 
Doubted his empire ; that were low 

indeed !

DEFENCE-DEGREES.

DEFENCE. 

Dauphin. In cases of defence 'tis best 
to weigh 

The enemy more mighty than he seems : 

So the proportions of defence are fill'd ; 

Which, if u weak and niggardly projec- 
tion, 

Doth, like a miser, spoil his coat with 
scanting 

A little cloth. 

Shakespeare. Henry V. Act ii. Sc. 4. 
1.43. 

What boots it at one gate to make de- 
fence, 
And at another to let in the foe ? 

Milton. Samson Agonistes. 1. 560. 

Get animal est tres mediant ; 

Quand on l'attaque il se deTend. 

This animal is very malicious ; when 
attacked it defends itself. 

From a Song, La Menagerie. 

[Burlesque upon a passage in Walcken- 
aer's Histoire Generate rfe.v Voyages (1826), tell- 
ing how Vasco de Gama and his comrades 
overcame certain "sea-wolves" of extraor- 
dinary size and strength : " Ces animaux," 
proceeds the historian in all seriousness, 
6 sont si furieux, qu'ils se defendent contre 
ceux qui les attaquent."] 

Millions for defence, but not one cent 
for tribute. 

Charles Cotesworth Pinckney (1746- 

1825), when Ambassador to the 

French Republic, 1796. 
[The proclamation of the Jay treaty with 
England, March 1, 1796, had threate'ned a 
rupture between the United States and 
France. In September Pinckney was sent 
as Minister to France. The Directory re- 
fused to receive him, but intimated that a 
money payment might settle the dispute. 
It was then, according to report, that Pinck- 
ney made his famous answer. But Pinckney 
is said to have denied the story : " No, my 
answer was not a flourish like that, but 
simply 'Not a penny; not a penny.'"] 

DEFIANCE. 

Norfolk. I do defy him, and I spit at 
him ; 
Call him a slanderous coward, and a 

villain : 
Which to maintain, I would allow him 

odds; 
And meet him, were I tied to run a-foot, 
Even to the frozen ridges of the Alps. 
Shakespeare. Richard II. Act i. Sc. 1. 
1.60. 



Warwick, I had rather chop this hand 

off at a blow,

point.

Aumerle. Who sets me else ? by 
heaven, I'll throw at all ; 
I have a thousand spirits in one breast, 
To answer twenty thousand such as you. 
Ibid. Richard II. Act iv. Sc. 1. 1.55. 

Pandulph. France, thou may'st hold 
a serpent by the tongue, 
A chafed lion by the mortal paw, 
A fasting tiger safer by the tooth, 
Than keep in peace that hand which 
thou dost hold. 
Ibid. King John. Act iii. Sc. 1. 1. 258. 

And dar'st thou then 
To beard the lion in his den, 
The Douglas in his hall ?

Come one, come all ! this rock shall fly 
From its firm base as soon as I.

a little.

DEMOCRA CY— DESERT. 



No great thing is created suddenly, any 
more than a bunch of grapes or a fig. If 
you tell me that you desire a fig, I answer 
you that there must be time. Let it first 
blossom, then bear fruit, then ripen. 

Epictetus. Discourses. Ch. xv.

The trappings of a monarchy would

which ought never to appear externally,

Coleridge. Table Talk. Sept. 19, 1830. 

The republican is the only form of 
government which is not eternally at 
open or secret war with the rights of 
mankind.

1790. 

Equal and exact justice to all men, of 
whatever state or persuasion, religious

ling alliances with none ; the support 
of the State governments in all their 
rights, as the most competent adminis- 
trations for our domestic concerns, are 
the surest bulwarks against anti-repub- 
lican tendencies. 

Ibid. First Inaugural Address, March 4,

There was a state without king or 
nobles ; there was a church without a 
bishop ; there was a people governed by 
grave magistrates which it had selected, 
and by equal laws which it had framed. 
Rufus Choate. Speech before the New 
England Society, Dec. 22, 1843. 

Democracy gives every man

DESERTER ; DESERTION.

In the desert a fountain is springing, 

In the wide waste there still is a tree, 
And a bird in the solitude singing, 
Which speaks to my spirit of thee. 
Byron.' Statizas to Augusta. Concluding 
lines. 

DESERTER; DESERTION. 

Fallen, fallen, fallen, fallen, 
Fallen from his high estate, 

And welt'ring in his blood; 
Deserted, at his utmost need, 
By those his former bounty fed, 
On the bare earth expos'd he lies, 
With not a friend to close his eyes. 

Dryden. Alexander's Feast. 1. 77.

Seeming estranged. 

Hood. Bridge of Sighs.

Thou hast taught me at last to forget 
thee, 
In secret, in silence, and tears. 
Mrs. David Porter. Thou hast Wounded 
the Spirit. 

King John. Poisoned, — ill fare ; — 

dead, forsook, cast off; 
And none of you will bid the Winter 

come, 
To thrust his icy fingers in my maw ; 
Nor let my kingdom's rivers take their 

course 
Through my burn' d bosom; nor entreat 

the North 
To make his bleak winds kiss my 

parched lips, 
And comfort me with cold. I do not 

ask you much, 
I beg cold comfort ; and you are so strait, 
And so ingrateful, you deny me that. 

Shakespeare. King John. Act v. Sc. 
7. 1. 36. 



Just fur b handful of silver he left us, 

Just tor a ribbon to stick in his coat ; 
Found the one gift of which Fortune 
bereft us, 
Lost all the others sin- lets OS devote. 
Robert Browninu. The Lost Leader. 

We that had loved him so, followed him, 
honored him, 
Lived in his mild and magnificent 
eye, 
Learned his great language, caught his 
clear accents, 
Made him our pattern to live and to 
die! 
Shakespeare was of us, Milton was for 
us, 
Burns, Shelley, were with us, — they 
watch from their graves ! 
He alone breaks from the van and the 
freemen, 
He alone sinks to the rear and the 
slaves. 

Ibid. The Lost Leader. 

Blot out his name, then, record one lost 
soul more, 
One task more declined, one more foot- 
path untrod, 
One more triumph for devils and sorrow 
for angels, 
One wrong more to man, one more 
insult to God 1 
Life' s night begins : let him never come 
back to us I 
There would be doubt, hesitation, and 
pain ; 
Forced praise on our part — the glimmer 
of twilight, 
Never glad confident morning again. 
Ibid. The Lost Leader. 
[Browning acknowledged that in The Lout 
.Leader he had Wordsworth in mind. though 
he used him only as a painter might use a 
model. Wordsworth's acceptance of the 
laureateship and a pension had seemed a 
defection from the Liberal cause. Whit- 
tier's Irhabod is a more open attack upon 
Daniel Webster for his speech of March 7, 
1850, which, among many of hifl former 
Northern worshippers, stamped him as a 
recreant, bidding for Southern presidential 
votes.] 

So fallen I so lost ! the light withdrawn 

Which once he wore I 
The glory from his gray hairs gone 

For evermore ! 

Whittier. Ichabod. St. 1.

DESIRE— DESPAIR. 



Of all we loved and honored, nought 

Save power remains — 
A fallen angel's power of thought, 

Still strong in chains. 
All else is gone : from those great eyes 

The soul has fled : 
When faith is lost, when honor dies, 

The man is dead 1 
Then pay the reverence of old days 

To his dead fame ; 
Walk backward, with averted gaze 

And hide the shame I 

Whittieb. Ichabod. St. 7-9.

Till the dirges of his hope that melancholy 
burden bore, 

Of " Never— never more." 

Poe. The Raven. 

Hamlet. O, that this too too solid flesh 

would melt, 
Thaw, and resolve itself into a dew ! 
Or that the Everlasting had not fix'd 
His canon 'gainst self-slaughter I O 

God r O God ! 
How weary, stale, flat and unprofitable 
Seem to me all the uses of this world ! 
Fye on' 1 1 ah fye ! 'tis an unweeded 

garden, 
That grows to seed; things rank and 

gross in nature 
Possess it merely.

dead 
The wine of life is drawn, and the mere 

lees 
Is left this vault to brag of. 

Shakespeare. Macbeth. Act ii. Sc 3. 
1. 96. 

The strongest and the fiercest spirit 
That fought in heaven, now fiercer by 

despair. 

Milton. Paradise Lost. Bk. ii. 1. 4-1. 

Me miserable ! which way shall I fly 
Infinite wrath and infinite despair? 
Which way I fly is hell ; myself am 

hell ; 
And in the lowest deep a lower deep 
Still threatening to devour me opens 

wide, 
To which the hell I suffer seems a 

heaven. 

Ibid. Paradise Lost. Bk. iv. 1. 73.

That in my heart would make its w:iy

With levell'd spears. 

Ibid. Two Foscari. Act i. Sc. 1. 

There is no despair so absolute as 
that which comes with the first momenta

not yet known what it is to have suf- 
fered and be healed, to have despaired 
and have recovered hope.

To set himself in glory above his 

peers, 
He trusted to have equalled the Most 

High, 
If he opposed ; and with ambitious aim 
Against the throne and monarchy of 

God 
Raised impious war in Heaven and 

battle proud, 
"With vain attempt. Him the almighty 

Power 
Hurled headlong flaming from the

With hideous ruin and combustion,

To bottomless perdition, there to dwell 
In adamantine chains and penal fire, 
Who durst defy the Omnipotent to arms.

High on a throne of roval state, which

Outshone the wealth of Ormus and of

Showers on her kings barbaric pearl

Satan exalted sat, by merit raised 

To that bad eminence ; and from de-

Thus high uplifted beyond hope, aspires 

Beyond thus high, insatiate to pursue 

Vain war with Heaven, and by success 
untaught 

His proud imaginations thus displayed.

excess 
Of glory obscured : as when the BUD new 

risen 
Looks through the horizontal misty air, 
Shorn of his beams ; or from behind the

On half the nations, and with fear of

A pillar of state ; deep on his front en-

And princely counsel in his face yet 

shone, 
Majestic though in ruin : sage he stood, 
With Atlantean shoulders fit to bear 
The weight of mightiest monarchies ; 

his look 
Drew audience and attention still as 

night 
Or summer's noon-tide air ; while thus 
he spake.

Equal in strength, and rather than be 

less 
Cared not to be at all ; with that care 

lost 
Went all his fear; of God, or Hell, or 

worse, 
He recked not ; and these words there- 
after spake.

DIGNITY.— DINNER. 



Pursuit of knowledge under difficul- 
ties. 

Lord Brougham. Title Given to a Book. 

DIGNITY. 

Otium cum dignitate. 

Ease with dignity. 
Cicero. Oratio Pro Publio Sextio. xlv. 

Facilius crescit dignitas quam incipit. 
Dignity increases more easily than it 
begins. 

Seneca. Epistolse Ad Lucilium. ci. 

Remember this, — that there ■ is a 
proper dignity and proportion to be ob- 
served in the performance of every act 
of life. 

Marcus Aurelius. Meditations, iv. 32. 

A certain dignity of manners is abso- 
lutely necessary to make even the most 
valuable character either respected or 
respectable in the world. 

Lord Chesterfield. Advice to his Son. 

DILEMMA. 

Launcelot. When I shun Scylla, your 
father, I fall into Charybdis, your 
mother. 

Shakespeare. Merchant of Venice. Act 
iii. Sc. 5. 1. 19. 

[The allusion is to the Homeric fableof 
Scylla and Charybdis : the first a rock, the 
second a whirlpool, in the straits of Mes- 
sina, Sicily, and each the habitat of an 
eponymous sea-monster who lured sailors 
to their destruction.] 



Nescis, heu ! perdite, 
Quern fugias: hostes incurris dum fugis 

hostem ; 
Incidis in Scyllam cupiens vitare Charyb- 
dim. 
Thou knowest not, O lost one, whereto 
thou fliest ! Thou wilt run into an enemy 
while fleeing from an enemy. Thou wilt 
fall upon Scylla in seeking to shun Charyb- 
dis. 

Philippe Gaultier. Alexandreis. Bk. 
v. 1. 301"(written about 1300). 

Between the devil and the deep sea. 

English Proverb. 
[At least as old as the early part of the 
seventeenth century, for it is found in 
Colonel Munro's Expedition with Mackay's 
Regiment (1637). Munro served under Gus- 
tavus Adolphus. In an engagement with 
the Austrians at Werben, Munro found his 
own men exposed to the fire of Swedish 
gunners who had not given their pieces a 



proper elevation. As he says, they were 
" betwixt the devil and the deep sea"— i. e., 
threatened by friend and foe alike. A pas- 
sage in Shakespeare seems to have refer- 
ence to some earlier form of the phrase : 

King Lear. Thou 'dst shun a bear : 
But if thy flight lay towards the raging sea, 
Thou 'dst meet the bear f the mouth. 

King Lear. Act iii. Sc. 4. 1. 10.]

son. Vol. viii. p. 67, note. 

This was a good dinner enough, to be 
sure, but it was not a dinner to ask a 
man to. 

Dr. Johnson. Boswell's Life. Ch. ix. 

So, if unprejudiced you scan 

The goings of this clock-work, man, 

You find a hundred movements made 

By fine devices in his head ; 

But 'tis the stomach's solid stroke 

That tells his being what's o'clock. 

Prior, Alma; or, the Progress of the 
Mind. Pt. iii. 1. 272. 

Method's more sure at moments to take 

hold 
Of the best feelings of mankind, which 

grow 
More tender, as we every day behold, 
Than that all-softening, overpowering 

knell, 
The tocsin of the soul— the dinner 

bell! 

Byron. Don Juan. Canto v. St. 49. 

All human history attests 
That happiness for man — the hungry 

sinner — 
Since Eve ate apples, much depends on 
dinner !

DIPLOMACY. 

Socrates. The rulers of the state are 
the only persons who ought to have the 
privilege of lying, either at home or 
abroad ; they may be allowed to lie for 
the good of the state. 
Plato. Republic, iii. 3. (Jowett, trans.) 

An Ambassador is an honest man sent 
to lie abroad for the commonwealth. 
Sir Henry Wotton. Rdiqux Wotton i an se. 

[In a letter to Velserus (1612), Wotton says, 
" This merry definition of an ambassador I 
had chanced to set down at my friend's, Mr. 
Christopher Fleckamore, in his Album." 
The unauthorized publication of it by the 
scurrilous controversialist Scioppius raised 
a storm of disapproval in Europe and for a 
period lost Wotton the favor of King James 
I. Another of Wotton's famous jests was his 
advice to a young diplomatist to tell the 
truth and so confound and puzzle his ad- 
versaries. Bismarck avowedly put this ad- 
vice into practice.]

they are smoothest.

DISCONTENT. 



I knew, I knew it could not last : 
'Twas bright, 'twas heavenly, but 'tis 

past. 
Oh, ever thus, from childhood's hour, 

I've seen my fondest hopes decay ; 
I never loved a tree or flower 

But 'twas the first to fade away. 
I never nursed a dear gazelle, 

To glad me with its soft black eye, 
But when it came to know me well 

And love me, it was sure to die. 
Moobe. LallaRookh: The Fire-Worshippers. 

Like Dead-Sea fruits that tempt the eye 
But turn to ashes on the lips. 

Ibid. Lalla Rookh : The Fire- Worshippers. 
[Dead-Sea fruit is a common metaphor for 
disappointed hope. The reference is to the 
so-called apples of Sodom, a yellow fruit 
which grows on the shores of the Dead Sea. 
Beautiful to the eye, it is bitter to the taste 
and filled with minute black grains not 
unlike ashes. Hence a widespread, though 
erroneous, belief that nothing can flourish 
in the neighborhood of the Dead Sea.] 

Greedily they plucked 
The fruitage, fair to sight, like that which 

grew 
Near that bituminous lake where Sodom 



This more delusive not the touch, but taste 
Deceived; they fondly thinking to allay 
Their appetite with gust, instead of fruit 
Chewed bitter ashes, which th' offended 

taste 
With spattering noise rejected. 

Milton. Paradise Lost. 

Like to the apples on the Dead-Sea shore, 
All ashes to the taste. 

Byron. Childe Harold, iii. 34.

This book was compiled by Newbery, the 
children's publisher, and revised by Gold- 
smith. The quatrain is given with no 
ascription of authorship. Twelve years pre- 
vious, in 1749, a variant had already ap- 
peared, avowedly as a quotation from But- 
ler's Hudibras, in Ray's History of the Rebel- 
lion : 

He that fights and runs away 
May turn and fight another day ; 
But he that is in battle slain 
Will never rise to fight again. 

These lines are not to be found in Hudi- 
bras, though the thought is one of which 
Butler was particularly fond. He repeat- 
edly rung the changes on it, as for instance : 
In all the trade of war, no feat 
Is nobler than a brave retreat ; 
For those that run away, and fly, 
Take place at least of the enemy.

DISEASE.— DISMISSAL. 



DISEASE. 

(See Sickness.) 
Diseases crucify the soul of man, at- 
tenuate our bodies, dry them, wither 
them, shrivel them up like old apples, 
make them as so many anatomies. 

Burton. Anatomy of Melancholy. Pt. i. 
Sc. 2. Memb. 3. Subsec. 10. 

King. Diseases desperate grown 
By desperate appliances are reliev'd, 
Or not at all. 

Shakespeare. Hamlet. Act iv. Sc. 3. 
1.9. 

Extreme remedies are very appropriate 
for extreme diseases, 

Hippocrates. Aphorisms, i. 

For a desperate disease a desperate cure. 
Unknown. The Custom of the Isle of Cea. 
Uh. iii. 

Wben desperate ills demand a speedy cure 
Distrust is cowardice, and prudence folly. 
Johnson. Irene. Act iv. Sc. 1. 

Falstaff. This apoplexy is, as I take 
it, a kind of lethargy, an't please your 
lordship; a kind of sleeping in the 
blood, a whoreson tingling. 

Shakespeare. II. Henry IV. Act i. 
Sc. 2. 1. 125. 

Hotspur. This sickness doth infect 
The very life-blood of our enterprise. 
Ibid. I. Henry IV. Act iv. Sc. 1. 1. 28. 

As man, perhaps, the moment of his 

breath, 
Keceives the lurking principle of death, 
The young disease, that must subdue at 

length, 
Grows with his growth, and strengthens 

with his strength. 
Pope. Essay on Man. Epistle ii. 1. 133. 

Read, ye that run, the awful truth, 

With which I charge my page ! 
A worm is in the bud of youth, 

And at the root of age. 
Cowper. Stanzas subjoined to the Yearly 
Bill of Mortality of the Parish of All 
Saints, Northampton, A. D. 1787. 

Proteus. In the sweetest bud 
The eating canker dwells. 

Shakespeare. Two Gentlemen of Verona. 
Act i. Sc. 1. 1. 42. 

So when a raging fever burns, 
We shift from side to side by turns ; 
And 'tis a poor relief we gain, 
To change the place but keep the pain. 
Watts. Hymns and Spiritual Songs. Bk. 
ii. Hymn 146. 



Immediately a place 
Before his eyes appeared, sad, noisome, 

dark; 
A lazar-house it seemed, wherein were 

laid 
Numbers of all diseased, all maladies 
Of ghastly spasm or racking torture, 

qualms 
Of heart-sick agony, all feverous kinds, 
Convulsions, epilepsies, fierce catarrhs, 
Intestine stone and ulcer, colic pangs, 
Demoniac phrenzy, moping melancholy, 
And moon-struck madness, pining 

atrophy, 
Marasmus, and wide-wasting pestilence, 
Dropsies, and asthmas, and joint-rack- 
ing rheums. 
Dire was the tossing, deep the groans ; 

Despair 
Tended the sick, busiest from couch to 

couch ; 
Arid over them triumphant Death his 

dart 
Shook, but delayed to strike, though oft 

invoked 
With vows, as their chief good and final 

hope. 
Milton. Paradise Lost. Bk. xi. 1. 477. 

DISGRACE; DISHONOR. 

Gloster. And wilt thou still be ham- 
mering treachery, 
To tumble down thy husband and thy- 
self 
From top of honour to disgrace's feet ? 
Shakespeare. II. Henry VI. Act i. Sc. 
2. 1. 47. 

Antony. Since Cleopatra died, 
I have liv'd in such dishonour that the 

gods 
Detest my baseness. 

Ibid. Antony and Cleopatra. Act iv. Sc. 
14. 1. 55. 

Could he with reason murmur at his 
case, 

Himself sole author of his own dis- 
grace ? 

Cowper. Hope. 1. 316. 

DISMISSAL. 

Shall I bid her goe ? What and if I doe? 
Shall I bid her goe and spare not ? 
Oh no, no, no ! I dare not. 
Percy. Reliques. Corydon'sFareweUtoPhiUit. 



DISP UTE.—DISTA NCE. 



l!»r, 



This ancient ballad, of unknown author- 
ship i which is preserved in Percy's Reiiques), 
is thus quoted by Shakespeare : 

Sir Tohi/[Singiti',i]. Shall I bid him go? 
Clown [Singing]. What an' if you do? 
>ir Toby [Singing], shall I bid him go, and 

spare not? 
Clovm [Singing]. no, no, no, no, you dare 

not. 

Twelfth Sight. Act ii. Sc. 3. 1. 118. 

But in vayne shee did conjure him 

To depart her presence soe ; 
Having a thousand tongues to allure 
him, 
And but one to bid him goe. 

Percy. Reiiques. Dulcina. 

Othello. Cassio, I love thee ; 
But never more be officer of mine. 

Shakespeare. Othello. Act ii. Sc. 3. 
1. 248. 
Rouse. What sights, my lord ? 
Lady M. I pray you, speak not ; he 
grows worse and worse ; 
Question enrages him ; at once, good 

night: — 
Stand not upon the order of your going, 
But go at once. 

Ibid. Macbeth. Act iii. Sc. 4. 1. 116. 

Lady Macbeth. You have displac'd the 
mirth, broke the good meeting, 
With most admiral disorder. 

Ibid. Macbeth. Act iii. Sc. 4. 1. 109. 

Perhaps it was right to dissemble your 

love, 
But why did you kick me down stairs? 
J. P. Kemble. The Panel. Act i. 

DISPUTE. 

Could we forbear dispute and practise 

love, 
We should agree as angels do above. 
Waller. Divine Love. Canto iii. 

The itch of disputing will prove the 
scab of churches. 

Sir Henry Wotton. A Panegyric to 
King Charles. 

It was directed by him to be thus in- 
scribed : 

Hie jacet hujus Sententiae primus Author: 
Disputandi pruritus, ecclesiarum scabies. 

Nomen alias quaere. 

Izaak Walton. Life of Wotton. 

Which may be Englished thus: 

Here lies the first author of this sentence : 
" The itch of disputation will prove the scab 
of the Church. Inquire his name else- 
where." 



Ilavt always been at daggers-drawing, 
And one another clapper-clawing. 

Biti.kk. Budibnu. It. ii. Canto ii. 1. 

79. 

The tree of knowledge blasted by dis- 
pute, 
Produces sapless leaves instead of fruit. 

Denham. The Progress of Learning. 1.43. 
Who shall decide when doctors disagree, 
And soundest casu its doubt, like you and 

me? 

Pope. Moral Essays. Epistle iii. 1. 1. 

When Popes damn Popes, and councils 
damn them all, 

And Popes damn councils, what must Chris- 
tians do? 

R. Baxter. Hypocrisy. 

Like doctors thus, when much dispute 

has past, 
We find our tenets just the same at last. 
Pope. Moral Essays. Epistle iii. 1. 15. 

DISTANCE. 

'Tis distance lends enchantment to the 

view, 
And robes the mountain in its azure hue. 
Campbell. Pleasures of Hope. Pt. i. 1. 7. 

The mountains, too, at a distance appear 
airy masses and smooth, but when beheld 
close they are rough. 

Diogenes Laertius. Pyrrho. 

As distant prospects please us, but when 

near 
We find but desert rocks and fleeting air. 
Garth. The Dispensary. Canto iii. 1. 27. 

Glories, like glow-worms, afar off shine 

bright, 
But look'd too near have neither heat nor 
light. 
John Webster. The White Devil. Act 
iv. Sc. 4. 

Love is like a landscape which doth 

stand 
Smooth at a distance, rough at hand. 
Robert Hegge. On Love. 

Some figures monstrous and miashaped 

appear, 
Considered singly, or beheld too near, 
Which, but proportion'd to their light 

or place, 
Due distance reconciles to form and 

grace.

One murder made a villain,

One to destroy is murder by the law, 
And gibbets keep the lifted hand in

To murder thousands takes a specious

War's glorious art, and gives immortal 

fame.

The dog, to gain his private ends, 

Went mad, and bit the man. 

The man recovered of the bite, 

The dog it was that died. 
Goldsmith. Elegy on the Death of a Mad Dog. 

[The jest is ancient and widely distributed. 
Lessing found it among the epigrams of the 
Greek, Demodocus, and his paraphrase has 
been Englished as follows : 
While Fell was reposing himself in the hay. 
A reptile concealed bit his leg as he lay ; 
But, all venom himself, of the wound he 

made light, 
And got well, while the scorpion died of the 

bite. 

A Latin epigram runs thus : 
Vipera Cappadocem nocitura momordit ; at

Gustato periit sanguine Cappadocis. 

A viper bit a Cappadocean, the former, 
having tasted the blood of a Cappadocean, 
expired.] 

Lo, when two dogs are fighting in the

DREAM. 

Sunt geminae Somni portae, quarum

Cornea, qua veris facilis datur exitus 

Umbris ; 
Altera candenti perfecta nitens ele-

Sed falsa ad coelum mittunt insomnia 

Manes. 

Sleep gives his name to portals twain : 

One all of horn they say, 
Through which authentic spectres gain 

Quick exit into day, 
And one which bright with ivory 

gleams, 
Whence Pluto sends delusive dreams. 
Virgil. JEneid. vi. 893. (Conington, 
trans.) 

Two diverse gates there are of bodiless 

dreams, 
These of sawn ivory, and those of horn. 
Such dreams as issue where the ivory 

gleams 
Fly without fate, and turn our hopes to 

scorn. 
But dreams which issue through the 

burnished horn, 



What man soe'er beholds them on his 

bed, 
These work with virtue and of truth are 
born. 
Homer. Odyssey, xix. 562. (Worsley, 
trans.) 

Hamlet. A dream itself is but a 
shadow. 

Shakespeare. Hamlet. Act ii. Sc. 2. 1. 259. 

Mercutio. O then, I see Queen Mab 
hath been witli you, 
She is the fairies' midwife ; and she 

comes 
In shape no bigger than an agate-stone 
On the forefinger of an alderman, 
Drawn with a team of little atomies 
Athwart men's noses as they lie asleep : 
Her waggon-spokes made of long spin- 
ner's legs ; 
The cover, of the wings of grasshoppers ; 
Her traces, of the smallest spider's web ; 
Her collars, of the moonshine's watery 

beams ; 
Her whip, of cricket's bone ; the lash 

of film : 
Her waggoner, a small, grey-coated gnat, 
Not half so big as a round little worm 
Pricked from the lazy finger of a maid ; 
Her chariot is an empty hazel-nut, 
Made by the joiner squirrel, or old grub, 
Time out of mind the fairies' coach- 
makers. 
Shakespeare. Romeo and Juliet. Act i. 
Sc. 4. 1. 53. 

Mercutio. I talk of dreams, 

Which are the children of an idle brain, 
Begot of nothing but vain fantasy ; 
Which is as thin of substance as the air ; 
And more inconstant than the wind. 

Ibid. Romeo and Juliet. Act i. Sc. 4. 
1.96. 

Romeo. If I may trust the flattering 

truth 1 of sleep, 
My dreams presage some joyful news at 

hand : 
My bosom's lord sits lightly in his 

throne ; 
And all this day an unaccustom'd spirit 
Lifts me above the ground with cheerful 

thoughts. 
Ibid. Romeo and Juliet. Act v. Sc. 1. 1. 1.

What dreadful noise of waters in mine

What ugly sights of death within mine

Methought I saw a thousand fearful

Ten thousand men that fishes gnawed 

upon ; 
Wedges of gold, great anchors, heaps of 

pearl, 
Inestimable stones, unvalued jewels, 
All scattered in the bottom of the sea : 



Some lay in dead men's skulls; and in

As 't were in scorn of eyes, reflecting

Dkyden. The Cock a?id tlie Fox. 1. 140. 

Dreams are but interludes which fancy 

makes. 
When monarch reason sleeps, this mimic 

wakes : 
Compounds a medley of disjointed 

things, 
A mob of cobblers, and a court of kings : 
Light fumes are merry, grosser fumes 

are sad; 
Both are the reasonable soul run mad. 
And many monstrous forms in sleep we 

see, 
That neither were, nor are, nor e'er can 

be.

Later the parody was, by the enemies of

as being a seriously intended couplet in his 
epic of The Creation. On October 29, 17G9, 
we find Boswell and Johnson discussing 



Blackmore, and Boswell defending " Black- 
mores supposed lines, which have been 
ridiculed as absolute nonsense," In tins 
fashion: "i maintained it to be s poetical 
conceit, a l'ict being painted, if he Is slain 
In battle, and a vesl is made of his skin, it 
is a painted vest won from him, though he 

was naked." a note added In the second 
edition of the /.<'< of Johntm i>\ Boswell 
himself makes this acknowledgment : " an 
acute correspondent of the European Maga- 
rine, April, 1792, has completely ezp 
mistake which has been unaccountably 
frequent in ascribing these lines t.> Black- 
more, notwithstanding that Bit Richard 
Steele, in that very popular work, tin 
tator, mentions them as written by the 
author of The British Princes, the Hon. 
Edward Howard. The correspondent above 
mentioned shows this mistake to be BO in-

as Blackmore's in the presence of Dr. John- 
son, without any contradiction or doubt "I 
their authenticity, but that the Reverend 
Mr. Whitaker has asserted in print that he

DRINK; DRUNKENNESS. 



The thirsty Earth soaks up the Earn, 
And drinks, and gapes for Drink again ; 
The Plants suck in the Earth and are 
With constant Drinking fresh and fair. 
Nothing in Nature's sober found, 
But an eternal Health goes round. 
Fill up the Bowl then, till it high- 
Fill all the Glasses there ; for why 
Should every Creature Drink but I ? 
Why, Man of Morals, tell me why? 
Cowley. Anacreon II. Drinking. 

[Cowley is here paraphrasing the twenty- 
first Ode of Anacreon, a literal translation 
of which is given above. A freer and, indeed, 
unacknowledged paraphrase occurs in 



The sun's a thief, and with his great attrac- 
tion 
Robs the vast sea, etc. 

Tiinon of Athens. Act iv. Sc. 3. 1. 339.]

And he that will to bed go sober, 
Falls with the leaf still in October. 

Beaumont and Fletcher. The Bloody 
Brother. Song. Act ii. Sc. 2. 
[The following well-known catch, or glee, 
is formed on this song : 
He who goes to bed, and goes to bed sober, 
Falls as the leaves do, and dies in October ; 
But he who goes to bed, and goes to bed 

mellow, 
Lives as he ought to do, and dies an honest 

fellow.] 

The praise of Bacchus then the sweet 
musician sung, 
Of Bacchus — ever fair and ever young : 
The jolly god in triumph comes ; 
Sound the trumpets ; beat the drums : 
Flush'd with a purple grace 
He shows his honest face : 
Now give the hautboys breath. He 
comes ! he comes ! 
Bacchus ever fair and young, 
Drinking joys did first ordain ; 
Bacchus, blessings are a treasure, 
Drinking is the soldier' s pleasure : 
Rich the treasure, 
Sweet the pleasure, 
Sweet is pleasure after pain. 
Dryden. Alexander's Feast. Canto iii. 

This bottle's the sun of our table, 
His beams are rosy wine ; 
We planets that are not able 
Without his help to shine.

Man, being reasonable, must get drunk ; 

The best of life is but intoxication :

Without their sap, how branchless were 

the trunk

You wake with headache, you shall see

BBYDEN-BUST. 



DRYDEN. 

Waller was smooth, but Dryden taught 

to join 
The varying verse, the full resounding 

line, 
The long majestic march, and energy 
divine. 

Pope. Imitations of Horace. Bk. ii. 
Epistle i. 1. 267. 

Behold where Dryden's less presumptu- 
ous car, 

"Wide o'er the fields of glory bear 

Two coursers of ethereal race, 

With necks in thunder cloth' d and long- 
resounding pace. 
Gray. Ode on the Progress of Poesy. 

A curious error has been fallen into by the 
careless, and is repeated, strangely enough, 
in the Primer of English Literature (p. 127) by 
that careful scholar Stopford Brooke. This 
is to confound Pope and Gray, and make 
line 269 in the Imitations of Horace read : 
The long resounding march and energy 
divine. 

I told him (Johnson) that Voltaire, in a 
conversation with me, had distinguished 
Pope and Dryden thus : " Pope drives a 
handsome chariot, with a couple of neat 
trim nags ; Dryden, a coach and six stately 
horses." 

Johnson.— " Why, sir, the truth is, they 
both drive coaches and six ; but Dryden's 
horses are either galloping or stumbling: 
Pope's go at a steady even trot." 

Boswell. Life of Johnson. February, 
1766. 

E'en copious Dryden wanted or forgot 
The last and greatest art, — the art to blot. 
Pope. Imitations of Horace. Bk. ii. 
Epistle i. 1. 280. 

DUEL. 

Some fiery fop, with new commission 

vain, 
Who sleeps on brambles till he kills his 

man; 
Some frolic drunkard, reeling from a 

feast, 
Provokes a broil, and stabs you for a 

jest. 

Dr. Johnson. London. 

Am I to set my life upon a throw 
Because a bear is rude and surly ? — No — 
A moral, sensible, and well-bred man 
Will not affront me, and no other can. 
Cowper. Conversation. 1. 192. 



It has a strange, quick jar upon the ear, 
That cocking of a pistol, when you know 
A moment more will bring the sight to 

bear 
Upon your person, twelve yards off or so. 

Byron. Don Juan. Canto iv. St. 41. 

DULNESS; DUNCES. 

Shadwell alone my perfect image bears, 
Mature in dulness from his early years : 
Shadwell alone, of all my sons, is he, 
Who stands confirm'd in full stupidity. 
The rest to some faint meaning make 

pretence, 
But Shadwell never deviates into sense. 
Some beams of wit on other souls may 

fall, 
Strike through, and make a lucid inter- 
val; 
But Shadwell's genuine night admits no 
ray. 

Dryden. Mac Flecknoe. 1. 20. 

And gentle Dulness ever loves a joke. 
Pope. Dunciad. Bk. ii. 1. 34. 

He is not only dull himself, but the 
cause of dulness in others. 
Dr. Johnson. BosweU's Life. 1784. Ch. 5. 

He says but little, and that little said 
Owes all its weight, like loaded dice, to 

lead ; 
His wit invites you by his looks to come, 
But when you knock, it never is at home. 
Cowper. Conversation. 1. 301. 

You beat your pate, and fancy wit will 

come: 
Knock as you please, there's nobody at 

home. 

Pope. Epigram. 

Oft has it been my lot to mark 
A proud, conceited, talking spark. 

Merrick. The Chameleon. 

How much a dunce that has been sent

Excels a dunce that has been kept at

Then shall the dust return to the earth 
as it was: and the spirit shall return 
unto God who gave it.

shake off the dust under your feet, for a

New Testament. Mark vi. 11. [See also 
Matthew x. 14.] 

A heap of dust alone remains of thee, 
Tifl all thou art, and all the proud shall

Shakespeare. Cymbeline. Act iv. Sc.

DUTY. 

When I'm not thank'd at all, I'm 

thank'd enough : 
I've done my duty, and I've done no 

more. 

Fielding. Tom Thumb. Act i. Sc. 3. 



The primal duties shine aloft, like stare ; 
The charities that soothe, and heal, and 

bless 
Are scattered at the feet of Man, like 

flowers. 

Wordsworth. The Excursion. Bk. ix. 
1.235. 

Stern Daughter of the Voice of God ! 
O Duty 1 if that name thou love 
Who art a light to guide, a rod 
To check the erring, and reprove ; 
Thou, who art victory and law 
When empty terrors overawe ; 
From vain temptations dost set free ; 
And calm'st the weary strife of frail 
humanity I 

Ibid. Ode to Duly. 

England expects every man to do his 
duty. 

Nelson. Southey's Life. Vol. ii. p. 13L 
At the Battle of Trafalgar. 

A sense of duty pursues us ever. It 
is omnipresent, like the Deity. If we 
take to ourselves the wings of the morn- 
ing, and dwell in the uttermost parts of 
the sea, duty performed or duty vio- 
lated is still with us, for our happiness 
or our misery. If we say the darkness 
shall cover us, in the darkness as in the 
light our obligations are yet with us. 

Daniel Webster. Argument on the 

Murder of Captain White. Works. 

Vol. vi. p. 105. 

His form was of the manliest beauty, 
His heart was kind and soft ; 

Faithful below he did his duty, 
But now he's gone aloft. 

Dibdin. Tom Bowling. 

For though his body's under hatches, 
His soul has gone aloft. 

Ibid. Tom Bowling. 

Not once or twice in our rough island 

story, 
The path of duty was the way to glory. 
Tennyson. Ode on the Death of the Duke 
of Wellington. St. 8. 

So nigh is grandeur to our dust, 

So near is God to man. 
When Duty whispers low, Thou must, 

The youth replies, / can. 

Emerson. Voluntaries. St. 3. 1. 13.

EAGLE. 



The reward of one duty is the power 
to fulfil another.

Eender therefore to all their dues:

Since every Jack became a gentleman, 
There's many a gentle person made a 
Jack. 
Shakespeare. Bichard III. Act i. Sc.

That eagle's fate and mine are one, 
Which on the shaft that made him 
die, 
Espied a feather of his own, 

Wherewith he wont to soar so high. 
Waller. To a Lady Sinking a tong of 
his Composing. 

So the struck eagle, stretched upon the 

plain, 
No more through rolling clouds to soar 

again, 
Viewed his own feather on the fatal dart, 
And winged the shaft that quivered in 

his heart : 
Keen were his pangs, but keener far to 

feel 
He nursed the pinion which impelled 

the steel, 
While the same plumage that had 

warmed his nest 
Drank the last life-drop of his bleeding 

breast. 

Byron. On the Death of Kirke White. 

Like a young eagle, who has lent his 

plume 
To fledge the shaft by which he meets 

his doom, 
See their own feathers pluck'd, to wing 

the dart 
Which rank corruption destines for 

their heart 1

The Eagle, he was lord above, 
And Rob was lord below. 

Wordsworth. Rob Roy's Grave. 

He clasps the crag with hooked hands, 
Close to the sun in lonely lands ; 
Ring'd with the azure world, he stands, 
The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls ; 
He watches from his mountain walls, 
And like a thunderbolt he falls.

Suffer to redeem our loss.

Hymn of the Fifteenth Century.

Bise, heart ; thy Lord is risen. Sing 
His praise 

Without delays,

likewise 

With Him mayst rise : 
That, as His death calcined thee to dust, 
His life may make thee gold, and, much 
more, just.

EDUCATION. 

(See also School.) 

On one occasion Aristotle was asked 

how much educated men were superior 

to those uneducated : " As much," said 

he, " as the living are to the dead." 

Diogenes Laektics. Aristotle, xi. 

It was a saying of his that education 
was an ornament in prosperity and a 
refuge in adversity. 

Ibid. Aristotle, xi. 

Homines, dum docent, discunt. 

Men, while teaching, learn. 

Seneca. Epistolx. vii. 8.

Shakespeare. II. Henry VI. Act iv.

Cade. Thou hast most traitorously cor- 
rupted the youth of the realm in erect- 
ing a grammar-school ; and whereas, 
before, our forefathers had no other 
books but the score and the tally, thou 
hast caused printing to be used, and, 
contrary to the king, his crown and 
dignitv, thou hast built a paper-mill. 
Ibid." II Henry VI. Act iv. Sc. 7. 1. 37.

I shall detain you no longer in the 
demonstration of what we should not do, 
but straight conduct ye to a hillside, 
where I will point ye out the right path

laborious indeed at the first ascent, but 
else so smooth, so green, so full of 
goodly prospect, and melodious sounds 



on every side, that the harp of Orpheus 
was not more charming.

Not harsh and crabbed, as dull fools sup 

pose, 
But musical as is Apollo's lute.

Delightful task 1 to rear the tender 

thought, 
To teach the young idea how to shoot. 
Thomson. The Seasons: Spring. 1 1149. 

Yet though her mien carries much 
more invitation than command, to be- 
hold her is an immediate check to loose 
behaviour ; and to love her is a liberal 
education. 

Steele. Taller. No. 49. 

This is grand ! 'tis solemn ! 'tis an educa- 
tion of itself to look upon ! 

James Fenimore Cooper. 77k: Deer- 
slayer. Ch. 2. 

Women know 
The way to rear up children (to be just) ; 
They know a simple, merry, tender 

knack 
Of tying sashes, fitting baby-shoes, 
And stringing pretty words that make 

no sense, 
And kissing full sense into empty words ; 
Which things are corals to cut life upon, 
Although such trifles. 

Mrs. Browning. Aurora Leigh. Bk. i. 
1.48. 

Slavery is but half abolished, emanci- 
pation is but half completed, while mil- 
lions of freemen with votes in Ihoir 
hands are left without education. 

Kobert C. WrNTHROP. Yorktoum. Ora- 
tion. October 19, 1881. 

But it was in making education not 
only common to all, but in some sense 
compulsory on all, that the destiny of 
the free republics of America was prac- 
tically settled.

EGOTISM. 



Of course everybody likes and respects 
self-made men. It is a great deal better 
to be made in that way than not to be 
made at all. 

O. W. Holmes. The Autocrat of the Break- 
fast-table. 1.1. 

EGOTISM. 

Glendower. I am not in the roll of 
common men. 

Shakespeare. 1. Henry IV. Act iil. 
Sc. 1. 1. 43. 

Death calls ye to the crowd of common 
men. 

Shirley. Cupid and Death. 

Gratiano. There are a sort of men, 

whose visages 
Do cream and mantle, like a standing 

pond ; 
And do a wilful stillness entertain, 
With purpose to be dressed in an opinion 
Of wisdom, gravity, profound conceit ; 
As who should say, " I am Sir Oracle, 
And, when I ope my lips, let no dog 

bark !" 

Ibid. Merchant of Venice. Act i. Sc 1.

The world knows only two, that's

So much is a man worth as he esteems

Boswell. Life of Johnson. 

To observations which ourselves we

Pope. Moral Essays. Epistle i. 1. 11. 

"That was excellently observed," say I 
when I read a passage in another where his 
opinion agrees with mine. When we differ, 
then I pronounce him to he mistaken. 

"on Various Subjects. 



Swift. 

Faith, that's as well said as if I had said 
it myself. 
Swift. Polite Conversation Dialogue ii. 

We hardly find any persons of good sense 
save those who agree with us. 

La Rochefoucauld. Maxim 347. 

Ask for what end the heavenly bodies 

shine, 
Earth for whose use ? Pride answers, 

'"Tis for mine: 
For me kind nature wakes her genial 

power, 
Suckles each herb, and spreads out every 

flower ; 
Annual for me, the grape, the rose, renew 
The juice nectareous, and the balmy 

dew; 
For me the mine a thousand treasures 

brings ; 
For me health gushes from a thousand 

springs ; 
Seas roll to waft me, suns to light me 

rise; 
My footstool earth, my canopy the 

skies." 
Pope. Essay on Man. Epistle i. 1. 131. 

While man exclaims, "See all things 

for my use !" 
" See man for mine I" replies a pamper'd 

goose. 
Ibid. Essay on Man. Epistle iii. 1.45. 

Why may not a goose say thus : " All the 
parts of the universe I have a* interest in— 
the earth serves me to walk upon ; the sun 
to light me ; the stars have their influence 
upon me ; I have such an advantage by the 
winds and such by the waters; there is 
nothing that yon heavenly roof looks upon 
so favourably as me. I am the darling of 
Nature ! Is it not man that keeps and serves 
me?"

He who has a thousand friends has not a

Of the world's ransom, blessed Mary's 

Son: 
This land of such dear souls, this dear,

Dear for her reputation through the

Is now leased out, I die pronouncing it. 
Like to a tenement, or pelting farm : 
England, bound in with the triumphant 

sea, 
Whose rocky shore beats back the envi- 
ous siege 
Of watery Neptune, is now bound in 

with shame, 
With inky blots and rotten parchment

That England, that was wont to conquer 

others, 
Hath made a shameful conquest of itself.

Be fickle and thy year most part de-

With dripping rains, or wither'd by a

I would not yet exchange thy sullen 

skies 
And fields without a flower for warmer 

France 
With all her vines ; nor for Ausonia's

Of golden fruitage and her myrtle bow-

Of patriot eloquence to flash down fire 
Upon thy foes, was never meant my

[The authorship, as well as the date, of 
this song is in dispute. An American vari-

introduees a further element of confusion. 
But the probabilities are that it was written 
by Shaw (1813-90), an English singer and 
entertainer, some time before the Crimean 
War (when it first sprang into popularitv), 
and that it was adapted to American use by 
another hand. Here is the first stanza of 
the latter adaptation :— 
Columbia, the gem of the ocean, 

The home of the brave and the free, 
The shrine of each patriot's devotion, 

A world offers homage to thee. 
Thy mandates make heroes assemble 

When Liberty's form stands in view ; 
Thy banners make tyranny tremble 

When borne by the red, white, and blue.]

ENGLAND. 



The Continent will not suffer England 
to be the workshop of the world. 
Disraeli (Earl of Beaconsfield). Speech, 
House of Commons. March 15, 1838. 

England is a nation of shopkeepers. 

[The phrase is currently attributed to 
Napoleon. But if he ever used it, he did 
not originate it. In 1775 Adam Smith had 
said in a general way and with no special 
application to England: 

To found a great empire for the sole pur- 
pose of raising up a people of customers 
may, at first sight, appear a project fit only 
for a nation of shopkeepers. It is, however, 
a project altogether unfit for a nation of 
shopkeepers, but extremely fit for a nation 
whose government is influenced by shop- 
keepers. Such statesmen, and such states- 
men only, are capable of fancying that they 
will find some advantage in employing the 
blood and treasure of their fellow-citizens 
to found and maintain such an empire. 
Wealth of Nations. Vol. ii. Bk. 4. Ch. 7. 

In a speech purporting to have been de- 
livered in Philadelphia, August 1, 1776, 
Samuel Adams specifically called the Eng- 
lish "a nation of shopkeepers." This 
speech may be apocryphal. It exists only 
in a professed reprint published in London 
in 1776. Barere, speaking in the Convention 
of June 11, 1794, called the English a " shop- 
keeping nation " (nation boutiquiere).]

And Honor turns with frown defiant, 
And Freedom, leaning on her spear,

England, the mother of Parliaments. 
John Bright. Speech at Rochdale, 1860. 

There is no land like England, 

Whate'er the light of day be ; 
There are no hearts like English hearts, 

Such hearts of oak as they be ; 
There is no land like England, 

Whate'er the light of day be : 
There are no men like Englishmen, 

So tall and bold as they be ! 



And these will strike for England, 
And man and maid be free 
To foil and spoil the tyrant 
Beneath the greenwood tree. 

Tennyson. The Foresters. Song. 

Yes, we arraign her ! but she, 
The weary Titan ! with deaf 
Ears, and labour-dimm'd eyes, 
Regarding neither to right 
Nor left, goes passively by, 
Staggering on to her goal ; 
Bearing on shoulders immense, 
Atlantean, the load, 
Well-nigh not to be borne, 
Of the too vast orb of her fate. 

Matthew Arnold. Heine's Grave. 

Never the lotus closes, never the wild-

A. D. 1579. 

Epitaph of Robert Byrkes. 
[According to Richard Gough (Sepulchral 
Monuments of Great Britain), these are the 
concluding lines of an epitaph in Doncaster 
Church. The verses are very popular among 
mortuary inscriptions, and'variants are fre- 
quent. This is how they appear on the 
tomb of Edward Courtenay, Earl of Devon- 
shire: 

What we gave, we have ; 

What we spent, we had ; 

What we left, we lost. 

A somewhat similar sentiment may be 
found in Martial : 

Who gives to friends so much from fate 

secures, 
That is the only wealth forever yours. 

Still anotherchange is rang on this thought 
in the following anecdote from the Qesta 
Romanorum: 



We read of a certain Roman emperor who 
built a magnificent palace, in digging the 
foundation, the workmen discovered a 
golden sarcophagus ornamented with three 
circlets, on which were Inscribed, " 1 have 
expended; I have given; l have kept; i 

have possessed; 1 do possess; I have lost; 
I am punished. What I formerly expended, 
I have; what I gave way, 1 have."] 

Tale xvi. 
(See under Gift.) 

Good frend, for Jesus sake forbeare 
To digg the dust encloased heare ; 
Bleste be y e man y ( spares thes stones, 
And curst be he y 1 moves my bones. 
Shakespeare. His Own Epitaph. 
[These lines are rudely engraved on his 
monument at Stratford-on-Avon. The last 
line is imitated from the damnation clauses 
of old Roman sepulchral inscriptions, of 
which this is a fair instance: " If any one 
shall disfigure this sepulchre, or shalfopen 
it, or move anything from it, to him let 
there be no earth to walk, no sea to sail, but 
may he be rooted out with all his race. 
May he feel all diseases, shuddering, and 
fever, and madness, and whatsoever ills 
exist for beasts or men, may these light on 
him whodares move aught from this tomb."] 

Underneath this marble hearse 
Lies the subject of all verse : 
Sidney's sister, Pembroke's mother. 
Death, ere thou hast killed another : 
Wise and virtuous, good as she, 
Time will throw his dart at thee. 

Epitaph on the Countess of Pembroke. 
[This is how the epitaph reads on the 
lady's tomb. In many anthologies and in 
editions of Ben Jonson'. to whom it has been 
constantly, but, in all likelihood, errone- 
ously attributed, the lines are usually given 
as follows : 

Underneath this sable hearse 
Lies the subject of all verse, 
Sidney's sister, Pembroke's mother; 
Death, ere thou hast slain another 
Fair, and learned, and good as she, 
Time shall throw a dart at thee. 

There seems good reason to believe that 
the poem was written, not by Ben Jonson, 
but by William Browne, the author of Bri- 
tannia's Pastorals. Goodwin, the latest edi- 
tor of Browne, has found a passage in which 
Browne himself seems to claim the epitaph 
as his. This occurs in his Elegy on Charles, 
Lord Herbert, a grandson of the Countess : 

And since my weak and saddest verse 
Was worthy thought to grace thy grandam's 

hearse, 
Accept of this. 

Browne was a protege of William, Earl of 
Pembroke, the Countess' son, and the epi- 
taph was included in a volume of the Earl's 
collected Poems, 1660. But the general 



230 



EPITAPH. 



opinion among critics is that the Earl wrote 
only a second and inferior verse tacked on 
to it in this collection : 

Marble piles let no mai raise 
To her name ; in after days 
Some kind woman born as she, 
Reading this, like Niobe, 
Shall turn marble, and become 
Both her mourner and her tomb. 

Nevertheless, there is a possibility that 
Browne wrote this verse also, the conclud- 
ing conceit being quite in his manner. 
Indeed, Browne employs a very similar con- 
ceit in one of the poems that is certainly 
his, an epitaph On One Browned in the Snow : 

Within a fleece of silent waters drowned 
Before I met with death a grave I found ; 
That which exiled my life from her sweet 

home 
For grief straight froze itself into a Tomb. 



The first publication of the famous epi- 
taph was in Osborne's Traditional Memoirs 
of the Reign of King James, 1658, but with 
no ascription of authorship. It was first 
claimed for Ben Jonson by Peter Whalley, 
who published a collected edition of his 
works in 1756, but who only alleges popular 
tradition as his authority.] 

Underneath this stone doth lie , 
As much beauty as could die ; 
Which in life did harbour give 
To more virtue than doth live. 
If at all she had a fault 
Leave it buried in this vault.

And thus it chanced as I divine 
With Roland and Sir Leoline, 
Each spake words of high disdain 
And insult to his heart's best brother. 
They parted — ne'er to meet again ! 
But never either found another 
To free the hollow heart from paining, 
They stood aloof, the scars remaining, — 
Like cliffs which had been rent asunder : 
A dreary sea now flows between.

broken-hearted ; 
Though in their souls, which thus each 
other thwarted, 
Love was the very root of the fond rage 
Which blighted their life's bloom, and then 
departed : 
Itself expired, but leaving them an age 
Of years all winters,— war within them- 
selves to wage.

Now came still evening on, and twilight 
gray 

Had in her sober livery all things clad ; 

Silence accompany'd ; for beast and 
bird, 

They to their grassy couch, these to their 
nests, 

Were slunk, all but the wakeful night- 
ingale ; 

She all night long her amorous descant 
sung ;

Silence was pleas'd. Now glow'd the

With living Bapphires; Hesperus, that

Rising in clouded majesty, at length 
Apparent queen unveil' d her 

light, 
And o'er the dark her silver mantle 

threw.

Chesterfield. Advice to a Lady in

Sweet was the sound, when oft, at even- 
ing's close, 

Up yonder hill the village murmur 
rose; 

^he first edition reads, "The lowing 
herds wind slowly o'er the lea." 



There as I passed, with careless steps 

and slow, 
The mingling notes came soften'd from 

below ; 
The swain responsive as the milkmaid 

sung, 
The sober herd that low'd to meet their 

young ; 
The noisy geese that gabbled o'er the 

pool, 
The playful children just let loose from 

school ; 
The watch-dog's voice that bay'd the 

whispering wind, 
And the loud laugh that spoke the 

vacant mind ; 
These all in sweet confusion sought the 

shade, 
And fill'd each pause the nightingale 

had made. 

Goldsmith. The Deserted Village. 1. 
113. 

At the close of the day when the hamlet 

is still, 
And mortals the sweets of forgetfulness 

prove, 
When naught but the torrent is heard 

on the hill, 
And naught but the nightingale's song 

in the grove. 

Beattie. The Hermit. 1. 1. 

Come to the sunset tree 1 

The day is past and gone ; 
The woodman's axe lies free, 
And the reaper's work is done.

Evening came on ; 
The beams of sunset hung their rainbow 

hues 
High 'mid the shifting domes of sheeted 

spray 
That canopied his path o'er the waste 

deep ; 
Twilight, ascending slowly from the 

east, 
Entwined in duskier wreathes her 

braided locks 
O'er the fair front and radiant eyes of 

day : 
Night followed, clad with stars. 

Shelley. Alastor.

EVIDENCE— EVIL. 



It is the hour when from the boughs 

The nightingale's high note is heard ; 
It is the hour when lovers' vows 

Seem sweet in every whispered word : 
And gentle winds, and waters near, 
Make music to the lonely ear. 
Each flower the dews have lightly wet, 
And in the sky the stars are met, 
And on the wave is deeper blue, 
And on the leaf a browner hue, 
And in the heaven that clear obscure, 
So softly dark, and darkly pure, 
Which follows the decline of day, 
As twilight melts beneath the moon away. 
Byron. Parisina. St. 1. 

The holy time is quiet as a Nun 
Breathless with adoration. 
Wordsworth. It is a Beauteous Evening.

The day is done, and the darkness 
Falls from the wings of Night, 
As a feather is wafted downward 
From an eagle in his flight.

Unruly blasts wait on the tender spring ; 
Unwholesome weeds take root with

The adder hisses where the sweet birds 

Bine ; 
What virtue breeds, iniquity devours:

But ill-annexed opportunity 
O'er kills his life, or else his quality.

Besides, they are our outward con-

And make a moral of the devil himself. 
Shakespeare. Henry V. Act iv. Sc. 1.

Friar. O, mickle is the powerful grace that 

lies 
In herbs, plants, stones, and their true

For nought so vile that on the earth doth 

live 
But to the earth some special good doth 

give, 
Nor aught so good but strain'd from that 

fair use 
Revolts from true birth, stumbling on 

abuse : 
Virtue itself turns vice, being misapplied; 
And vice sometimes by action dignified.

Longfellow. The Golden Legend, ii.

Swept from the earth and blotted from his

There, secret in the grave, he bade them lie, 
And grieved they could not 'scape the 

Almighty eye.

"The smoking flax before it burst to

But one sad losel soils a name for aye,

sublimed, 
To vital spirits aspire, to animal, 
To intellectual ; give both life and sense, 
Fancy and understanding ; whence the 

soul 
Reason receives, and reason is her being, 
Discursive or intuitive ; discourse 
Is oftest yours, the latter most is ours, 
Differing but in degree, of kind the

Wonder not, then, what God for you saw 

good 
If I refuse not, but convert, as you, 
To proper substance: time may come, 

when men 
With angels mav participate.

Not light them for themselves ; for if

Did not go forth of us, 'twere all alike 
As if we had them not. Spirits are not 

finely touch'd 
But to fine issues, nor Nature never lends 
The smallest scruple of her excellence 
But, like a thrifty goddess, she deter-

Herself the glory of a creditor, 
Both thanks and use.

EXILE— EXPERIENCE. 



Pembroke. When workmen strive to do 
better than well, 
They do confound their skill in covetous- 

uess ; 
And, oftentimes, excusing of a fault 
Doth make the fault the worse by the ex- 
cuse, 
As patches set upon a little breach 
Discredit more in hiding of the fault 
Than did the fault before it was so patched. 
Shakespeare. King John. Act iv. Sc. 2. 
1.30. 

Qui s'excuse, s'accuse.

Stoop not then to poor excuse ; 

Turn on the accuser roundly ; say, 

' : Here am I, here will I abide

Already Heaven with thee its lot has

EXILE. 

(See Banishment.) 

Some natural tears they dropped, but 

wiped them soon: 
The world was all before them, where to 

choose 
Their place of rest, and Providence their 

guide. 
They, hand in hand, with wandering 

steps and slow 
Through Eden took their solitary way. 
Milton. Paradise Lost. Bk. xii. 1. 645. 

Behold the duteous son, the sire de- 
cayed, 

The modest matron, and the blushing 
maid, 

Forc'd from their homes, a melancholy 
train, 

To traverse climes beyond the Western 
main. 

Where wild Oswego spreads her swamps 
around, 

And Niagara stuns with thundering 
sound. 

Goldsmith. Traveller. 1. 407. 

There came to the beach a poor exile of 
Erin, 
The dew on his thin robe was heavy 
and chill ; 
For his country he sigh'd, when at twi- 
light repairing 
To wander alone by the wind-beaten 
hill. 

Campbell. The Exile of Erin. 

For I am as a weed, 
Flung from the rock, on Ocean's foam, 

to sail, 
Where'er the surge may sweep, the 
tempest's breath prevail.

For sweetest things turn sourest by their 
deeds ; 

Lilies that fester smell far worse than 



Shakespeare. Sonnet xciv.

pall, 
Neglected lies, and 's of no use at all, 
But in its full perfection of decay 
Turns vinegar, and comes again in 

play.

Everye white will have its blacke, 
And everye sweet its soure.

Extremes in man concur to general use.

Assembly. 1791. 

^The rose is fairest when 'tis budding 
new,

And love is loveliest when embalm'd 
in tears.

[Chaucer, Wyf of Bath, Prol., has : 
And for to see, and eke for to be Beye.] 

Non laudandus est, quoi credit plus qui 

audit, quam qui videt ; 
Non placet, cum illi plus laudant, qui 

audiunt, quam qui vident; 
Pluris est oculatus testis unus, quam 

auriti decern. 
Qui audiunt, audita dicunt ; qui vident 

plane sciunt. 

I don't commend the man who rather 
trusts 

His ears than eyes. — It discomposes 
me 

When those are louder in their com- 
mendations, 

Who've only heard reports, than those 
who saw 

The deeds performed. — And one eye- 
witness weighs 

More than ten hearsays. Seeing is be- 
lieving 

All the world o'er. 

Plautus. Truculentus. Act ii. Sc. 6, 6. 
(Bonnell Thornton, trans.) 

Segnius irritant animos demissa per

le-s keen 
On the spectator's mind than when 'tis 

seen.

Beatrice. Our eyes are sentinels unto 
our judgments,

LYLY. Bupkuet and His England, p. 289. 

But to nobler sights 

Michael from Adam's eyes the film re- 
moved, 

Which that false fruit that promised 
clearer sight 

Had bred ; then purged with euphrasy 
and rue 

The visual nerve (for he had much to 
see). 
Milton. Paradise Lost. Bk. xL 1. 411. 

For any man with half an eye, 
What stands before him may espy ; 
But optics sharp it needs I ween, 
To see what is not to be seen. 

John Trumbull. McFingal. Canto i.

Her eyes the glow-worme lend thee, 
The shooting starres attend thee ; 
And the elves also, 
Whose little eyes glow 
Like the sparks of fire, befriend thee. 
Herrick. The Night Piece to Julia.

Why has not man a microscopic eye ? 
For this plain reason, Man is not a Fly. 
Say, what the use, were finer optics 

given, 
T' inspect a mite, not comprehend the 
heaven ? 
Pope. Essay on Man. Epistle i. 1. 193. 

Nothing is lost on him who sees 

With an eye that feeling gave ; — 
For him there's a story in every breeze, 
And a picture in every wave. 
T. Moore. Boat Glee. Song from M. P., 
or the Blue Stocking. 



An eye's an eve, and whether black or 
blue 
Is no great matter, so 'tis in request. 
'Tis nonsense to dispute about a hue, 

The kindest may lie taken as a test. 
The fair sex should be always fair ; and 

no man, 
Till thirty, should perceive there's a 
plain woman. 
Byron. Don Juan. Canto xiii. St. 20. 

Her eye (I'm very fond of handsome 
eyesj 
Was large and dark, suppressing half 
its fire 
Until she spoke, then through its soft 
disguise 
Flash' d an expression more of pride 
than ire, 
And love than either ; and there would 
arise 
A something in them which was not 
desire, 
But would have been, perhaps, but for 

the soul, 
Which struggled through and chasten' d 
down the whole. 

Ibid. Don Juan. Canto i. St. 60. 

Alas 1 how little can a moment show 
Of an eye where feeling plays 
In ten thousand dewy rays : 
A face o'er which a thousand shadows 
go!

He holds him with his glittering eye, 
The wedding guest stood still, 
And listens like a three years' child.

The doors all looked as if they oped 

themselves, 
The windows as if latched by fays and 

elves, 
And from them comes a silver flash of 

light, 
As from the westward of a summer's 

night ; 
Or like a beauteous woman's large blue 

eyes 
Gone mad through olden songs and 

poesies. 

Keats. Remiv.iscences.

FACE.

A sweet attractive kinde of grace, 
A full assurance given by lookes, 

Continuall comfort in a face 

The lineaments of Gospell bookes. 

Was never eie did see that face, 

Was never eare did heare that tong, 
Was never ruinde did minde his grace, 

That ever thought the travell long ; 
But eies and eares and ev'ry thought 
Were with his sweete perfections caught.

[This piece is sometimes ascribed to Spen-

There is a garden in her face, 

Where roses and white lilies show ; 
A heavenly paradise is that place, 

Wherein all pleasant fruits do grow, 
There cherries hang that none may buy, 
Till cherry ripe themselves do cry. 
Those cherries fairly do enclose 
Of orient pearl a double row ; 
Which when her lovely laughter shows, 
They look like rosebuds filled with 
snow.

The fair humanities of old religion, 
The power, the beauty, and the majesty 
That had their haunts in dale or piny

William Allingham. The Fairies. 

I met a lady in the meads, 
Full beautiful — a faery's child ; 
Her hair was long, her foot was light, 
And her eves were wild. 



I set her on my pacing steed, 
And nothing else saw all day long, 
For side-long would she bend, and sing 
A faery song. 

She took me to her elfin grot, 

And there she wept, and sighed full 

sore, 
And there I shut her wild, wild eyes 
With kisses four.

Of all the rewards of virtue, if we are 
to take any account of rewards, the most 
splendid is fame ; for it is fame alone 
that can offer us the memory of posterity 
as a consolation for the shortness of life, 
so that, though absent, we are present, 
though dead, we live ; it is by the ladder 
of fame only that mere men appear to 
rise to the heavens.

FAME. 



Fame, if not double fac'd, is double 

mouth'd, 
And with contrary blast proclaims most 

deeds ; 
On both his wings, one black, the other 

white, 
Bears greatest names in his wild aery 

flight.

Thus fame shall be achieved, renown on 

earth, 
And what most merits fame in silence 
hid. 
Milton. Paradise Lost. Bk. xi. 1. 698. 

Fame is the spur that the clear spirit 

doth raise 
(That last infirmity of noble mind) 
To scorn delights and live laborious 

days; 
But the fair guerdon when we hope to 

find, 
And think to burst out into sudden 

blaze, 
Comes the blind Fury with the abhorred 

shears, 
And slits the thin-spun life. 

Ibid. Lycidas. 1. 70. 

Read but o'er the stories 
Of men most famed for courage and for 

counsel, 
And you shall find that the desire for glory 
(That last infirmity of noble minds) 
Was the last frailty wise men e'er put off. 
Anon. Sir John van Olden Barnevelt. 
This anonymous tragedy was produced in 
1622, or fifteen years before Lycidas. Swin- 
burne thinks the two respective lines in 
parentheses form "the most astonishing 
coincidence in the whole range of litera- 
ture." But indeed the thought seems to 
have been a classical commonplace of the 
period. Massinger has it in this form : 
Though the desire of fame be the last weak- 
ness 
Wise men put off. 

A Very Woman. Act iii. Sc. 4. 
The fountain head appears to be Tacitus : 
Erant quibus appetentior famse videretur, 
quando etiam sapientibus cupido gloria 
novissima exuitur. 

Some might consider him as too fond of 
fame, for the desire of glory clings even to 
the wisest men longer than any other pas- 
sion. 

Historia. iv. 6. 



FAME. 



259 






The thought is developed a little in 
Boethius, who was probably more read in 
those days than Taclttu : 

Hoc unum est, quod praeetantee uuidem 
natura mentes, sea nouduiu ad extremam 
maiiuni viriutnm perfections perductaa ulli- 
ecru possit. gloria- scilicet cupido. 

De UontoUUione I'hilosophc. Bk. ii. Ch. 
17. 

Montaigne, in his essay on the Love of 
Fame, has the idea and supports it with a 
quotation from St. Augustine: 

And of men's unreasonable humors it 
seemeth that the best philosophers do more 
slowly and more unwillingly clear them- 
selves of this [thirst for fame] than of 
another. It is the most peevish, the most 
froward, and the must obstinate of all in- 
firmities: Quia etiam bene proficientes 
animos tentare non cessat. 1 

What's fame ? a fancied life in others' 

breath. 
A thing beyond us, e'en before our 

death. 
Pope. Essay on Man. Epistle iv. 1. 237. 

And what is Fame ? the Meanest have 

their Day, 
The Greatest can but blaze, and pass 

away.

1.46. 

Who pants for glory finds but short 

repose, 
A breath revives him, or a breath o'er- 

throws. 

Ibid. Satire v. 1. 300. 

How vain that second life in others' 

breath, 
The estate which wits inherit after 

death ; 
Ease, health, and life, for this they must 

resign, 
(Unsure the tenure, but how vast the 

fine!) 

Ibid. Temple of Fame. 1. 504. 

Honor's a lease for lives to come, 
And cannot be extended from

Nor fame I slight, nor for her favors 

call ;

Pope. Temple of Fame. 1. 513. 

Fame usually comes to those who are 
thinking about something else, — very rarely 
to those who say to themselves, " Go to, now 
let us be a celebrated individual!" The 
struggle for fame, as such, commonly ends 
in notoriety ;— that ladder is easy to climb, 
but it leads to the pillory which is crowded 
with fools who could not hold their tongues, 
and rogues who could not hide their tricks. 
Holmes. The Autocrat of the Breakfast- 
table. Ch. 12. 

Then teach me, Heaven ! to scorn the 
guilty bays, 

Drive from my breast that wretched lust 
of praise ;

What is the end of Fame? 'tis but to

For this men write, speak, preach, and 
heroes kill, 
And bards burn what they call their 
" midnight taper," 
To have, when the original is dust, 
A name, a wretched picture, and worse 
bust.

Tell me where is fancy bred, 
Or in the heart or in the head ? 
How begot, how nourished ? 

Reply, reply. 
It is engender'd in the eyes, 
With gazing fed ; and fancy dies 
In the cradle where it lies. 

Shakespeare. Merchant of Venice. Actiii.

For as by basill the scorpion is engen- 
dered, and by means of the same herb is 
destroyed : so love which by time and fancie 
is bred in an idle head, is by time and fancie 
banished from the heart : or, as the sala- 
mander, which being a long space nourished 
in the fire, at the last quencheth it, so affec- 
tion having taken hold of the fancie, and 
living, as it were, in the minde of the lover, 
in tract of time altereth and changeth the 
heate, and turneth it to chilnesse.

[This song is supposed to have been sung 
by Mary Stuart on leaving the shores of 
France to become Queen of Scots, but in 
reality is an historical forgery of De Quer- 
lon, who admitted as much to the Abbe 
Menier de Saint-Leger. Beranger has taken 
the lines as a repetend for one of his most 
popular songs, "Les Adieux de Marie 
Stuart," "The Adieux of Mary Stuart."] 

Adieu, adieu I my native shore 

Fades o'er the waters blue ; 
The Night-winds sigh, the breakers 
roar, 

And shrieks the wild sea-mew. 
Yon sun that sets upon the sea 

We follow in his flight ; 
Farewell awhile to him and thee, 

My native land — good-night.

For by that knowledge of his Destiny 
He would not live at all, but always die.

When the Sultan Shah-Zaman 
Goes to the city Ispahan, 
Even before he gets so far 
As the place where the clustered palm- 
trees are, 
At the last of the thirty palace-gates, 
The pet of the harem, Rose-in-Bloom, 
Orders a feast in his favorite room — 
Glittering square of colored ice, 
Sweetened with syrup, tinctured with 

spice, 
Creams, and cordials, and sugared dates, 
Syrian apples, Othmanee quinces, 
Limes and citrons and apricots, 
And wines that are known to Eastern 
princes.

So spake the seraph Abdiel, faithful 

found 
Among the faithless, faithful only he ; 
Among innumerable false, unmoved, 
Unshaken, unseduced, unterrified, 
His loyalty he kept, his love, his zeal ; 
Nor number nor example with him 

wrought 
To swerve from truth, or change his 

constant mind, 
Though single. 

Milton. Paradise Lost. Bk. v. 1. 896. 

Is this he whom once, alone of many, I 
found faithful? 

Sophocles. Electra. 

Servant of God, well done ; well hast 
thou fought 
The better fight, who single hast main- 
tained 
Against revolted multitudes the cause 
Of truth, in word mightier than they in 

arms; 
And for the testimony of truth hast borne 
Universal reproach, far worse to bear 
Than violence; for this was all thy care, 
To stand approved in sight of God, 

though worlds 
Judged thee perverse. 
Well done.

FIRM A MENT. -FLA G. 



271 



FIRMAMENT. 

-TAR8.) 

The heavens declare the glory of God ; 
and the firmament showeth his handi- 
work. 

Old Testament Psalm xix. 1. 
The spacious firmament on high, 
With all the blue ethereal sky, 
And spangled heavens, a shining frame, 
Their great Original proclaim. 

Addison. Ode. 

Soon as the evening shades prevail, 
The moon takes up the wondrous tale, 
And nightly to the listening earth 
Repeats the story of her birth ; 
While all the stars that round her burn, 
And all the planets in their turn, 
Confirm the tidings as they roll, 
And spread the truth from pole to pole. 
Ibid. Ode. St. 2. 

Hamlet. Look you, this brave o'er- 
hanging firmament, this majestical roof 
fretted with golden fire, why it appears 
no other thing to me than a foul and 
pestilent collection of vapors. 
Shakespeare. Hamlet. Actii. Sc. 2. 1.312. 

Now glow'd the firmament 
With living sapphires; Hesperus, that 

led 
The starry host, rode brightest, till the 

Moon, 
Rising in clouded majesty, at length, 
Apparent queen, unveil'd her peerless 

light, 
And o'er the dark her silver mantle 
threw. 
Milton. Paradise Lost. Bk. iv. 1. 604. 

The starry cope 
Of heaven. 

Ibid. Paradise Lost. Bk. iv. 1. 992. 

Heaven's ebon vault 
Studded with stars unutterably bright, 
Through which the moon's unclouded 

grandeur rolls, 
Seems like a canopy which love has 

spread 
To curtain her sleeping world. 

Shelley. Queen Mab. iv. 

FISH. 

(See Angling.) 
Oratiano. But fish not, with this mel- 
ancholy bait, 
For this fool gudgeon, this opinion. 
Shakespeare. Merchant of Venice. Act 
i. Sc. 1. 1. 101. 



To fish in troubled waters. 
Matthew Henry. Commentaries. Psalm 
Ix. 

All is fish that cometh to net. 
J. Heywood. Proverb*. Pi. i. Ch. ii. 

[The same proverb is quoted in Gascoigne's 
Steele Olas (1575) and Tusser's Five Hundred 
Points of Good Husbandry. February Abstract. 

Cato wondered how that city was pre- 
served wherein a fish was sold for more 
than an ox. 

Plutarch. Roman Apothegms. Cato the 
Elder. 

Fishes that tipple in the deep 
Know no such liberty. 

Richard Lovelace. To Alt/tea from

worm that hath eat of a king ; and eat 
of the fish that hath fed of that worm. 
Shakespeare. Hamlet. Act iv. Sc. 3. 
1.28. 

Third Fisherman. Master, I marvel 
how the fishes live in the sea. 

First Fisherman. Marry, as men do 
a-land: the great ones eat up the little 
ones. 

Ibid. Pericles. Act ii. Sc. 1. 1. 26. 

Men lived like fishes; the greater ones 
devoured the small. 

Algernon Sidney. Discourses on Gov- 
ernment. Ch. ii. Sec. 18. 

A fishing rod is an instrument with a 
worm at one end and a fool at the other. 

[This jest has been variously ascribed to 
Dr. Johnson and to Dean Swift, but it ante- 
dates both. A French writer of the seven- 
teenth century, Guyet by name, has these 
lines : 

La ligne avec sa canne est un long instru- 
ment. 
Dont le plus mince bout tient un petit 

reptile, 
Et dont 1' autre est tenu par un grand im- 
becile. 
The line with its rod is a long instrument 
whose lesser end holds a small reptile, 
while the other is held by a great fool.] 



FLAG. 

Romeo. Beauty's ensign yet 
Is crimson in thy lips, and in thy checks,

Who forthwith from the glittering staff

The imperial ensign, which, full high 

advanced, 
Shone like a meteor streaming to the 

wind. 1 

Milton. Paradise Lost. Bk. i. 1. 535. 
(See under Hair.) 

With gems and golden lustre rich em- 
blazed, 
Seraphic arms and trophies; all the 

while 
Sonorous metal blowing martial sounds : 
At which the universal host up sent 
A shout that tore Hell's concave, and 

beyond 
Frighted the reign of Chaos and old 
Night.

Floated in conquering battle or flapt to

Never with mightier glory than when 

we had reared thee on high, 
Flying at top of the roofs in the ghastly 

siege of Lucknow — 
Shot thro' the staff or the halyard, but 

ever we raised thee anew, 
And ever upon the topmost roof our 

banner of England blew.

ensign flying ! 
Blow, zephyrs, sweetly mournful, sigh-

Other Poems, p. 191. 

When Freedom from her mountain 
height 

Unfurled her standard to the air, 
She tore the azure robe of night, 

And set the stars of glory there. 
She mingled with its gorgeous dyes 
The milky baldric of the skies, 
And striped its pure, celestial white, 
With streakings of the morning light. 
Flag of the free heart's hope and home I 

By angel hands to valor given ; 
Thy stars have lit the welkin dome, 

And all thy hues were born in heaven. 
Forever float that standard sheet I 

Where breathes the foe but falls be- 
fore us, 
With Freedom's soil beneath our feet, 

And Freedom's banner streaming o'er 
. us?

Flattery's the nurse of crimes.

Lord Chesterfield. Letter to His Son. 
16th March, 1752. 

Of praise a mere glutton, he swallow'd

disease, 
Who peppered the highest was surest to 

please.

A Lily I kiss, and exult in my bliss, 

But I very soon search for a new lip; 
And I pause in my flight to exclaim 
with delight,

I'm the Butterfly Beau.

Ariel. Where the bee sucks, there 

suck I, 
In a cowslip's bell I lie : 
There I couch when owls do cry. 
On the bat's back I do fly, 
After summer merrily : 
Merrily, merrily shall I live now, 
Under the blossom that hangs on the 
bough. 
Shakespeare. The Tempest. Act v. Sc. 
1. 1. 89. 

On either side 
Acanthus and each odorous bushy shrub 
Fenced up the verdant wall; each 

beauteous flower, 
Iris all hues, roses, and jessamin 
Reared high their flourish'd heads 

between, and wrought 
Mosaic ; under foot the violet, 
Crocus, and hyacinth with rich inlay 
Broidered the ground, more coloured 

than with stone 
Of costliest emblem. 

Milton. Paradise Lost. Bk. iv. 1. 695. 

Immortal amarant I a flower which once 
In Paradise, fast by the Tree of Life, 
Began to bloom; but soon for Man's

To Heaven removed where first it grew, 

there grows 
And flowers, aloft, shading the fount of 

life; 
A.nd where the river of bliss through 

midst of Heaven 
itolls o'er Elysian flowers her amber 

stream.

Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

The windflower and the violet, they per-

And the brier-rose and the orchis died

But on the hill the golden-rod, and the 
aster in the wood, 

And the yellow sunflower by the brook, 
in autumn beauty stood, 

Till fell the frost from the clear cold 
heaven, as falls the plague on men, 

And the brightness of their smile was 
gone, from upland glade and glen.

forget-me-not caught the drop of water by 
the hair and sucked her in, that she might 
become a floweret, and twinkle as brightly 
as a blue star on the green firmament of

Dear common flower, that grow'st

Feels a more summer-like warm ravish-

FOLLY. 



He was a wise pope that, when one that 
used to be merry with him before he was 
advanced to the popedom refrained after- 
wards to come at him (presuming he was 
busy in governing the Christian world), 
sent for him, bade him come again, and 
(says he) we will be merry as we were be- 
fore, for thou little thinkest what a little 
foolery governs the whole world. 

Selden. Table Talk. Pope. 

Lord Chatham, writing to Lord Shelburne, 
says : " It calls to my mind what some pope, 
Alexander VI. or Leo, said to a son of his 
afraid to undertake governing— i. e., con- 
founding—the Christian world : ' Nescis, mi 
fili, quam parva sapientia hie noster mun- 
dus regitur.' " The pope referred to by both 
Selden and Lord Chatham was neither 
Alexander nor Leo, but Julius III. (1550-55), 
of whom the story is told that when a 
Portuguese monk pitied him because he 
had the weight of the world upon his 
shoulders, replied, "You would be sur- 
prised if you knew with how little 
of understanding the world is ruled." 

A reminiscence of this papal phrase may 
have been in the mind of Axel, Count 
Oxenstiern (1583-1654), the chancellor of 
Sweden, when he encouraged his son to 
accept an appointment to represent Sweden 
at the Peace Congress of Westphalia in 1648 : 
"An nescis, mi fili, quantilla prudentia 
mundus regitur?" ("Dost thou not know, 
my son, with how little wisdom the world 
is governed?")

He was perfumed like a milliner ; 

And 'twixt his finger and his thumb he 
held 

A pouncet-box, which ever and anon 

He gave his nose, and took't away 
again ; 

Who therewith angry, when it next 
came there, 

Took it in snuff. And still he smiled

Eight onward.

templates ; 

Neither to change nor falter nor repent ; 

This, like thy glory, Titan, is to be 

Good, great, and joyous ; beautiful and 
free; 

This alone Life, Joy, Empire, Victory 1

mistake in her gifts to women.

King Henry. Will Fortune never come 

with both hands full, 
But write her fair words still in foulest 

letters ? 
She either gives a stomach, and no 

food ; 
Such are the poor in health ; or else a 

feast, 
And takes away the stomach ; such are 

the rich, 
That have abundance and enjoy it not.

Fortune, the great commandress of the 
world, 

Hath divers ways to advance her fol- 
lowers : 

To some she gives honor without de- 
serving ; 

Toother some, deserving without honor. 

Some wit, some wealth, — and some, wit 
without wealth ; 

Some wealth without wit; some nor wit 
nor wealth.

Not only is fortune herself blind, but 
she generally blinds those on whom she 
bestows her favours.

The King of France came down the hill,

Unknown. Old Tarleton's Song. 
[This ballad was printed in a tract entitled 
Pigge's Corantol, or News from the North. 

Thackeray, in a paraphrase of Beranger's 
Le Roi d' Yveiot, which he calls The King of 
Brentford, imitates the old jingle : 
Each year he called his fighting men, 
And marched a league from home and then 
Marched back again. 
Beranger's words were : 
D'ailleurs il ne levait de ban, 
Que pour tirer quatre fois l'an 
Au blanc. 
In another King of Brentford paraphrase 
Thackeray came closer to his original : 
Each year his mighty armies marched forth 

in" gallant show, 
Their enemies were targets, their bullets 
they were tow.] 



FRANKLIN, BENJAMIN. 

Eripuit caelo fulmen, mox sceptra 
tyrannis. 

He snatched the thunderbolt from 
heaven, the sceptre from tyrants. 

Turgot. 

[According to Condorcet ( Vic de Monsieur 
Turgot, p. 200. London, 1786), this was the 
form in which Turgot wrote his inscription 
for the bust of Franklin by Houdon. The 
misquotation, " Eripuit coelo fulmen, scep- 
trumque tyrannis," is more familiar. It is 
just possible that Turgot had in mind one 
or the other of the following : 

Eripuit fulmenque Jovi, Phoeboque sagit- 
tas. 

Cardinal de Polignac. Anti- Lucretius. 
i. 5, 96. 

Eripuit Jovem fulmen viresque tonandi. 
Manilius. Astronomica. i. 10. 

Franklin's criticism of the line is amus- 
ing: 

Notwithstanding my experiments with 
electricity, the thunderbolt continues to 
fall under our noses and beards ; and as for 
the tyrant, there are a million of us still 
engaged at snatching away his sceptre. 

Letter to Nogaret.] 

But matchless Franklin 1 What a few

Barbour. The Bruce. Bk. i. 1. 224. 

I made him just and right, 
Sufficient to have stood, though free to 

fall. 
Such I created all the ethereal Powers 
And Spirits, both them who stood, and 

them who failed ; 
Freely they stood who stood, and fell 

who fell. 

Milton. Paradise Lost. Bk. iii. 1. 98.

Freedom, which in no other land will 

thrive, 
Freedom, an English subject's sole pre- 
rogative. 
Dryden. Threnodia Augustalit. Canto x. 
1.300. 

No, Freedom has a thousand charms to 

show 
That slaves, howe'er contented, never 

know. 

Cowper. Table Talk. 1. 260. 

He is the freeman whom the truth 

makes free, 
And all are slaves besides. 

Ibid. A Winter Morning's Walk. 

To those the truth makes free, 
Sacred as truth itself is lawful liberty. 

Aubrey De Verb. 

Can art, alas ! or genius, guide the head 
Where truth and freedom from the heart 

are fled? 
Can lesser wheels repeat their native 

stroke, 
When the prime function of the soul is 

broke ? 

Akenside. Epistle to Curio. 1. 265.

For he was Freedom's champion, one of 

those, 

The few in number, who had not o'er- 

stept 

The charter to chastise which she bestows 

On such as wield her weapons ; he 

had kept 
The whiteness of his soul, and thus 

men o'er him wept. 
Byron. Childe Harold. Canto iii. St. 57. 

Yet, Freedom ! yet thy banner, torn, 

but flying, 
Streams like the thunder-storm against

Ay, call it holy ground, 

The soil where first they trod I 
They have left unstained what there

Freedom to worship God. 

Mrs. Hemans. Landing of the Pilgrim 
Fathers. Concluding lines. 

Blandishments will not fascinate us, 
nor will threats of a "halter" intimi- 
date. For, under God, we are deter- 
mined that wheresoever, whensoever, or 
howsoever we shall be called to make 
our exit, we will die free men. 

Josiah Quincy. Observations on the Bos-

This hand, to tyrants ever sworn the

Oh, Freedom ! thou art not, as poets 

dream, 
A fair young girl, with light and deli- 
cate limbs, 
And wavy tresses gushing from the cap 
With which the Eoman master crowned 

his slave 
When he took off the gyves. A bearded 

man, 
Armed to the teeth, art thou ; one mailed 

hand 
Grasps the broad shield, and one the 

sword ; thy brow, 
Glorious in beauty though it be, is 

scarred 
With tokens of old wars ; thy massive 

limbs 
Are strong with struggling. 
Bryant. Antiquity 



Freedom of religion ; freedom of the 
press ; freedom of person under the pro-

England may as well dam up the

the magnificent mountains of Switzer- 
land.

Both young Arcadians, both alike in- 
spired 
To sing, and answer as the song required. 
Virgil. Eclogues, vii. 4. (Dryden, 
trans.) 

[The poet means that their voices were 
matched so as to sing in duet or alternately. 
Arcades ambo is said separately of any couple 
of country folk of simple, unsophisticated 
ideas.] 

That each pull'd different ways with many 

an oath, 
"Arcades ambo," id est— blackguards both. 
Byron. Don Juan. Canto iv. St. 93. 



Honest men esteem and value nothing 
so much in this world as a real friend. 
Such a one is as it were another self, 
to whom we impart our most secret 
thoughts, who partakes of our joy, and 
comforts us in our affliction ; add to 
this, that his company is an everlasting 
pleasure to us.

This was a very common sentiment among 
the undents : 

Who is my foe, I must but hate as one 
Whom I may yet call friend : and him who 

loves me, 
Will I but serve and cherish as a man 
Whose love is not abiding. 

(C. S. Calverley, trans.)

Nothing is there more friendly to a

Byron. Don Juan. Canto xiv. St. 48. 

In all thy humours, whether grave or

equals, or where the superiority uu one side 

is reduced by some equivalent advantage 

on the other. 

Dr. S. Johnson. The Rambler. No. 64. 

Full of this maxim, often heard in trade, 
Friendship with none but equals should be 
made. 
Chatterton. Fragment. Pub. 1803. 

Friendship, like love, is but a name, 
Unless to one you stint the flame. 
The child, whom many fathers share, 
Hath seldom known a father's care. 
'Tis thus in friendships ; who depend 
On many, rarely find a friend. 

Gay. Fables: The Hare and Many Friends. 
Pt. i. Fable 50. 

And what is friendship but a name, 

A charm that lulls to sleep ; 
A shade that follows wealth or fame, 

But leaves the wretch to weep ?

FRIEND: FRIENDSHIP. 



Friends I have made, whom envy must 

commend, 
But not one foe whom I would wish a friend. 
Churchill. Conference. 1. 297. 

Should auld acquaintance be forgot, 
And never brought to mind ? 

Should auld acquaintance be forgot, 
And days o' auld lang syne ? 

Buens. Auld Lang Syne. 

Friend of my soul ! this goblet sip, 

'Twill chase that pensive tear ; 
'Tis not so sweet as woman's lip, 

But, oh ! 'tis more sincere. 
Like her delusive beam, 

'Twill steal away thy mind : 
But, truer than love's dream, 

It leaves no sting behind. 

Thomas Moore. Juvenile Poems. An- 
acreontique. 

Give me th' avow' d, th' erect, the manly 

foe, 
Bold I can meet, perhaps may turn his 

blow ; 
But, of all plagues, good Heaven, thy 

wrath can send, 
Save, save, oh, save me from the candid 

friend ! 
Canning. New Morality, The Anti-Jacobin. 

Most of our misfortunes are more sup-

upon them.

Nothing is so dangerous as an ignorant 
friend ; a wise enemy is worth more.

Robert Browning. Saul. 

You're my friend — 
What a thing friendship is, world with- 
out end 1 
How it gives the heart and soul a stir-up 
As if somebody broached you a glorious 

runlet, 
And poured out, all lovelily, sparkingly 

sunlit, 
Our green Moldavia, the streaky syrup, 
Cotnar as old as the time of the Druids — 
Friendship may match with that mon- 
arch of fluids ; 
Each supplies a dry brain, fills you its 

ins-and-outs, 
Gives your life's hour-glass a shake 

when the thin sand doubts 
Whether to run on or stop short, and 

guarantees 
Age is not all made of stark sloth and 
arrant ease.

Do we move ourselves, or are moved by an 

unseen hand at a game 
That pushes us off from the board, and others 

ever succeed ? 
Ah yet, we cannot be kind to each other 

here for an hour ; 
We whisper, and hint, and chuckle, and grin 

at a brother's shame 
However we brave it out, we men are a little 

breed. 

Tennyson. Maud. Pt. iv. St. 5. 

We are none other than a moving row 
Of magic shadow-shapes that come and go 
Round with the sun-illumined lantern held 
In midnight by the master of the show ; 
But helpless pieces of the game He plays 
Upon this checker-board of Nights and 

Days: 
Hither and thither moves, and checks, and 

slays 
And one by one back in the closet lays.

Neckcr in 1770 says: "The Romans cared 
only for panem et circenses. We have omitted 
panem, we care only for c ircenses— that is to 
say, for comic opera." Had Voltaire lived 
to see the march of the women of Paris to 
Versailles (October, 1789), shouting for 
bread, he would have found a parallel for 
both parts of the quotation.] 

I see before me the Gladiator lie ; 

He leans upon his hand — his manly

Consents to death, but conquers agony, 
And his droop'd head sinks gradually 

low —

GARDEN. 



And through his side the last drops, 

ebbing slow 
From the red gash, fall heavy, one by

Like the first of a thunder-shower ; and 

now 
The arena swims around him — he is 

gone, 
Ere ceased the inhuman shout which 

hail'd the wretch who won. 

Byron. Childe Harold. Canto iv. St. 
140. 

He reck'd not of the life he lost nor 

prize, 
But where his rude hut by the Danube 

lay, 
There were his young barbarians all at 

play, 

There was their Dacian mother, — he, 

their sire, 
Butcher'd to make a Boman holiday. 
Ibid. Childe Harold. Canto iv. St. 141. 



And ye vaunted your fathomless power 

and ye flaunted your iron pride 
Ere — ye fawned on the Younger Nations 

for the men who could shoot and 

ridel 
Then ye returned to your trinkets ; then 

ye contented your souls 
With the flannelled fools at the wicket 

or the muddied oafs at the goals.

GARDEN. 

God Almighty first planted a garden. 
And, indeed, it is the purest of human 
pleasures. It is the greatest refreshment 
to the spirits of man ; without which 
buildings and palaces are but gross 
handiwork; and a man shall ever see 
that when ages grow to civility and 
elegancy, men come to build stately 
gardens sooner than to garden finely: 
as if gardening were the greater perfec- 
tion.

On every side you look, behold the wall ! 
No pleasing intricacies intervene, 
No artful wildness to perplex the scene ; 
Grove nods at grove, each alley has a 

brother, 
And half the platform just reflects the 

other ; 
The suffering eye inverted nature sees, 
Trees cut to statues, statues thick as 

trees ; 
With here a fountain never to be play'd, 
And there a summer-house that knows 

no shade.

Unlifted was the clinking latch ; 

Weeded and worn the ancient thatch

Goldsmith. Retaliation. L 11. 

Here lies David Garrick — describe me 

who can, 
An abridgment of all that was pleasant 

in man. 
As an actor, confess' d without rival to 

shine ; 
As a wit, if not first, in the very first 

line; 
Yet, with talents like these, and an ex- 
cellent heart, 
The man had his failings — a dupe to his 

art. 
Like an ill-judging beauty, his colors 

he spread, 
And beplaster'd with rouge his own 

natural red. 
On the stage he was natural, simple, 

affecting : 
'Twas only that when he was off, he was 

acting. 

Ibid. Retaliation. 1. 93. 

He cast off his friends, as a huntsman 

his pack, 
For he knew when he pleased he could 

whistle them back. 

Ibid. Retaliation. 1. 107. 

His death eclipsed the gayety of 
nations, and impoverished the public 
stock of harmless pleasure. 

Dr. Johnson. Life of Edmund Smith

/Boswell, in his Life of Johnson, under date 
April 24, 1776, gives an amusing conver- 
sation between himself and Johnson, in 
which the latter defended this sentence 
against the other's not too intelligent criti- 
cisms.] 

If manly sense; if nature link'd with 

art ; 
If thorough knowledge of the human 

heart ; 
If powers of acting vast and unconfin'd ; 
If fewest faults with greatest beauties 

join'd ; 
If strong expression, and strange powers 

which lie 
Within the magic circle of the eye ; 



If feelings which few hearts, like his, 

can know, 
And which no face so well as his can 

show, 
Deserve the preference ; Garrick 1 take 

the chair, 
Nor quit it till thou place an equal there.

Macaulay. Essays. The Pilgrim's Progress. 

Talent gives all that vulgar critics need — 
From its plain hornbook learn the Dull 

to read ; 
Genius, the Pythian of the Beautiful, 
Leaves its large truths a riddle to the 

Dull— 
From eyes profane a veil the Isis 



And fools on fools still ask what Hamlet 
means.

Talk not of genius baffled. Genius is 

master of man ; 
Genius does what it must, and talent 

does what it can.

Talent is that which is in a man's power ; 
genius is that in whose power a man is. 

Lowell. Among My Books. Rousseau

Genius . . . that energy which collects, 
combines, amplifies, and animates. 
J< iunson. Livet of the English Poets : Pope. 

Genius has somewhat of the infantine : 
But of the childish, not a touch nor 

taint 
Except through self-will, which, being 

foolishness, 
Is certain, soon or late, of punishment, 
Which Providence avert ! 

R. Browning. Prince Hohenstiel-Schwan-

A man may learn from his Bible to 
be a more thorough gentleman than if 
he had been brought up in all the draw- 
ing-rooms in London. 
C. Kingsley. The Water Babies. Ch. iii. 
(See under Christian.) 

And thus he bore without abuse 
The grand old name of gentleman, 
Defamed by every charlatan, 

And soil'd with all ignoble use.

GENTLENESS. 

Belarius. They are as gentle 
As zephyrs blowing below the violet.

here and there, 
Troop home to churchyards.

Act iii. Sc. 2. 1. 379.

Thy bones are marrowless, thy blood is 

cold ; 
Thou hast no speculation in those eyes 
Which thou dost glare with ! 

Shakespeare. Macbeth. Act iii. Sc. 4. 
1.93. 

Macbeth. The time has been 
That, when the brains were out, the man 

would die, 
And there an end ; but now they rise 

again, 
With twenty mortal murders on their 

crowns, 
And push us from our stools.

Such was the very armour he had on, 
When he the ambitious Norway com-

So frown'd he once, when, in an angry 

parle, 
He smote the sledded Polacks on the ice. 
Tis strange. 

Shakespeare. Hamlet. Act i. Sc. 1.

Horatio. Season your admiration for 

a while 
With an attent ear ; till I may deliver, 
Upon the witness of these gentlemen, 
This marvel to you. 

Hamlet. For God's love, let me hear. 
Horatio. Two nights together had 

these gentlemen, 
Marcellus and Bernardo, on their watch, 
In the dead vast and middle of the 

night, 
Been thus encounter' d. A figure like 

your father, 
Armed at point exactly, cap-a-p£, 
Appears before them, and with solemn 

march 
Goes slow and stately by them : thrice 

he walk'd 
By their oppress'd and fear-surprised eyes, 
Within his truncheon's length ; whilst 

they, distill'd 
Almost to jelly with the act of fear, 
Stand dumb and speak not to him. 

Ibid. Hamlet. Act i. Sc. 2. 1. 192. 

Hamlet. Angels and ministers of grace, 

defend us ! 
Be thou a spirit of health or goblin 

damn'd, 
Bring with thee airs from heaven or 

blasts from hell, 
Be thy intents wicked or charitable, 
Thou comest in such a questionable 

shape 
That I will speak to thee : I'll call thee 

Hamlet, 
King, father, royal Dane : O, answer 

me ! 
Let me not burst in ignorance, but tell 
Why thy canonized bones, hearsed in 

death, 
Have burst their cerements; why the 

sepulchre, 
Wherein we saw thee quietly inurn'd, 
Hath oped his ponderous and marble 



To cast thee up again ! What may this 

mean, 
That thou, dead corse, again, in complete 

steel, 
Revisit'stthus the glimpses of the moon, 
Making night hideous ; and we fools of 

nature, 
So horridly to shake our disposition, 
With thoughts beyond the reaches of 

our souls ? 
Say, why is this? wherefore? what 

should we do? 

Shakespeare. Hamlet. Acti. Sc. 
4. 1. 39. 

Horatio. What art thou, that usurp'st 
this time of night, 
Together with that fair and warlike 

form 
In which the Majesty of buried Denmark 
Did sometimes march? by Heaven I 
charge thee, speak. 

Ibid. Hamlet. Act i. Sc. 1. 1. 46. 

Ghost. I am thy father's spirit ; 
Doom'd for a certain term to walk the 

night, 
And for the day confined to fast in 

fires, 
Till the foul crimes done in my days of 

nature 
Are burnt and purged away. But that 

I am forbid 
To tell the secrets of my prison-house, 
I could a tale unfold whose lightest 

word 
Would harrow up thy soul, freeze thy 

young blood. 
Make thy two eyes, like stars, start from 

their spheres, 
Thy knotted and combined locks to part 
And each particular hair to stand on end, 
Like quills upon the fretful porcupine : 
But this eternal blazon must not be 
To ears of flesh and blood. List, list, O 

list! 

Ibid. Hamlet. Act i. Sc. 5. 1. 9. 

Hamlet. Art thou there, truepenny ? 
Come on — you hear this fellow in the

Lady. 

Great Pompey's shade complains that 

we are slow, 
And Scipio's ghost walks unavenged

Addison. Cato. Act ii. Sc. 1. 

Who gather round, and wonder at the 

tale 
Of horrid apparition, tall and ghastly, 
That walks at dead of night, or takes his 

stand 
O'er some new-open'd grave ; and 

(strange to tell !) 
Evanishes at crowing of the cock.

To those you left behind disclose the 

secret ? 
O that some courteous ghost would blab 

it out, 
What 'tis you are and we must shortly 

be. 

Ibid. The Grave. 1. 425. 

Oh, Christ, that it were possible,

GIANTS. 

There were giants in the earth in 
those days. 

Old Testament. Genesis vi. 4. 

Strong were our sires, and as they fought 

they writ, 
Conquering with force of arms, and dint of

Theirs was the giant race, before the flood. 
Dryden. Epistle to Mr. Congreve. 



Pigmsei gigantum humeris impositi 
plusquam ipsi gigantes vident. 

Pigmies placed on the shoulders of 
giants see more than the giants them- 



Didacus Stella. Lucan. 10. torn. ii. 



A dwarf on a giant's shoulders sees farther 
of the two. 

George Herbert. Jacula Prudentum. 

A dwarf sees farther than the giant when 
he has the giant's shoulders to mount on. 
Coleridge. The Friend. Sec. i. Essay 8. 

Pigmies are pigmies still, though perched 

on Alps, 
And pyramids are pyramids in vales.

Nothing in love : now does he feel his 

title 
Hang loose about him, like a giant's 

robe 
Upon a dwarfish thief. 

Shakespeare. Macbeth. Act v. Sc. 2.

Isabella. O, it is excellent 
To have a giant's strength ; but it is 

tyrannous 
To use it like a giant.

GIFTS. 

Every good gift and every perfect gift 

is from above, and comet li down from 

the Father of lights, with whom is no 

variableness, neither shadow of turning. 

Sew Testament. James i. 17. 

Give, and it shall be given unto you ; 
good measure, pressed down, and shaken 
together, and running over. 

Ibid. St. Luke vi. 38. 

It is more blessed to give than to re- 
ceive. 

Ibid. Acts xx. 35. 

Better to give than to take. 

John Heywood. Proverbs. Pt. i. Ch. v. 

Who gives to friends so much from Fate 

secures, 
That is the only wealth forever yours. 
Martial. Epigrams, v. 42, 7. 
Hoc habeo quodcunque dedi. 
Whatever I have given, I still possess. 
C. Rabirius. Seneca, de Beneflciis. vi. 
3,1. 

What we gave, we have ; 

What we spent, we had ; 
What we left, we lost. 
Epitaph on Edward, Earl of Devonshire. 
1419. 

To get by giving, and to lose by keeping, 
Is to be sad in mirth, and glad in weeping. 
Chris. Harvie. The Synagogue, The 
Church Stile. 
(See under Epitaph.) 

Inopi beneficium bis dat qui dat 
celeriter. 

He gives a double favor to a poor man 
who gives quickly. 

" Syrus. Maxims. 235. 

[This maxim has been popularly short- 
ened into : 

Bis dat qui cito dat. 

He gives twice who gives quickly. 

In this form Bacon quoted it in his speech 
on taking his place in Chancery, May 7, 
1617. 

Per contra, Broome, in his poetical Letter 
to Lord Cornwallis, has the line : 

He gives by halves, who hesitates to give.] 

For the will and not the gift makes 
the giver. 

Lessing. Nathan der Weise. i. 5. 

Saepe dedit quisquis ssepe negata dedit. 
He giveth oft who gives what's oft 
refused.

llysscs. His heart and hand both 
open and both free ; 
For what he has he gives, what thinks 

he shows ; 
Yet gives he not till judgment guide 
his bounty. 

Shakespeare. Troilus and dessida. 
Act iv. Sc. 5. 1. 100. 

Florizel. She prizes not such trifles as 

these are : 
The gifts she looks from me, are pack'd 

and lock'd 
Up in my heart; which I have given 

already, 
But not deliver'd. 
Ibid. Winter's Tale. Act iv. Sc. 4. 1. 349. 

Hamlet. I never gave you aught. 
Ophelia. My honour'd lord, you know 
right well you did ; 
And with them words of so sweet breath 

composed, 
As made the things more rich : their 

perfume lost, 
Take these again ; for to the noble mind, 
Kich gifts wax poor when givers prove 
unkind. 

Ibid. Ramlet. Act iii. Sc. 1. 1. 96. 

Acceptissima semper 
Munera sunt auctor quae pretiosa tacit. 
Those gifts are ever most acceptable 
Which take their value only from the giver. 
Ovid. Heroides. xv. 

Not what we give, but what we share,— 
For the gift without the giver is bare. 

Lowell. Vision of Sir Launfal. Pt. ii. 
viii. 

To loyal hearts the value of all gifts 
Must vary as the giver's. 

Tennyson. Launcelot and Elaine. 

He ne'er considered it, as loth 
To look a gift-horse in the mouth, 
And very wisely would lay forth 
No more upon it than 'twas worth ; 
But as he got it freely, so 
He spent it frank and freely too : 
For saints themselves will sometimes be, 
Of gifts that cost them nothing, free. 
Butler. Hudibras. Pt. i. Canto i. 1.489. 
[The proverb, " Never look a gift-horse in 
the mouth," is at least as old as St. Jerome 
(fourth century), who replied to certain un- 
favorable critics of his writings that they 
were free-will offerings, and it did not be- 
hoove to look a gift-horse in the mouth : 
" Equi dentes inspicere donati."]

sells.

[Cf. Voiture (to the Comte du Guiche) : 
" Pour l'ordinaire la fortune nous vend

Too great to be repaid, hang heavy on 

the soul

Favors are only acceptable where it ap-

My heart and lute are all the store

the earth in forty minutes. 

Shakespeake. A Midsummer Night's 
Dream. Act ii. Sc. 1. 1. 175. 

[This expression is not original with 
Shakespeare. Probably derived from the 
old maps where the zodiac is represented 
as a girdle about the earth. It was a pro- 
verbial expression for a voyage around the 
world.] 

And as great seamen, using all their wealth 
And skills in Neptune's deep invisible 

paths, 
In tall ships richly built and ribbed with 

brass, 
To put a girdle round about the world. 
Chapman. Bussy D'Ambois. Act i. Sc. 1. 



GIRL. 

Portia. The full sum of me 
Is sum of something, which, to term in 

gross, 
Is an unlesson'd girl, unschool'd, un- 
practised : 
Happy in this, she is not yet so old 
But she may learn ; happier than this, 
She is not bred so dull but she can 

learn ; 
Happiest of all is that her gentle spirit 
Commits itself to yours to be directed. 
Shakespeare. The Merchant of Venice. 
Act iii. Sc. 2. 1. 158. 

It is better to learn late than never.

Dryden. Prologue to Amphitryon.

The man is, as a first creation, genuine; 

The woman is the clearer, softer, and

'Tis true, your budding Miss is very

And glancing at Mamma, for fear there's

What you, she, it, or they may be

Queen rose of the rosebud garden of 
girls, 
Come hither, the dances are done, 
In gloss of satin and glimmer of pearls, 

Queen lily and rose in one ; 
Shine out, little head, sunning over with 

curls, 
To the flowers, and be their sun. 

Tennyson. Maud. Pt. i. xxii. 9. 

A rosebud set with little wilful thorns, 
And sweet as English air could make

Ibid. The Princess. Prologue. 1. 153. 

Maiden ! with the meek, brown eyes, 
In whose orbs a shadow lies 
Like the dusk in evening skies 1 
Thou whose locks outshine the sun, 
Golden tresses, wreathed in one, 
As the braided streamlets run ! 
Standing, with reluctant feet, 
Where the brook and river meet, 
Womanhood and childhood fleet ! 

Longfellow. Maidenhood. 

[Shakespeare describes boyhood in less 
complimentary but not entirely dissimilar 
fashion : 

Malvolio. Not yet old enough for a man, 
nor young enough for a boy ; as a squash is 
before 'tis a peas-cod, or a codling when 'tis 
almost an apple : 'tis with him in stand- 
ing water, between boy and man. He is 
very well-favoured and he speaks very 
shrewishly; one would think his mother's 
milk were scarce out of him. 

Twelfth Night. Act i. Sc. 5. 1. 148.] 

GLORY. 

(See Fame.) 
quam cito transit gloria mundi ! 
How swiftly passes the glory of the 
world ! 

Thomas a Kempis. De Imitatione Christi. 
i. 3, 6. 
["Sic transit gloria mundi " ("Thus the 
glory of this world passes away"), a sequence 
sung at the enthroning of a new pope, ac- 
companied with the burning of tow, to sig- 
nify the transitoriness of earthly grandeur, 
is evidently a reminiscence of A Kenipis's 
phrase.] 

Pucelle. Glory is like a circle in the 
water, 
Which never ceaseth to enlarge itself 
Till by broad spreading it disperse to 
nought. 
Shakespeare. J. Henry VI. Act i. Sc. 
2. 1. 133.

GLUTTONY ~O0D. 



Apemantus. Like madness is the 
glory of this life. 

Shakespeare. Timon of Athens. Act 
i. Sc.2. 1. 128. 

Some glory in their birth, some in their 
skill, 

Some in their wealth, some in their 
body's force; 

Some in their garments, though new- 
fangled ill; 

Some in their hawks and hounds, some 
in their horse ; 

And every humor hath his adjunct 
pleasure, 

Wherein it finds a joy above the rest.

[The Psalter of the English Book of Com-

The Lord descended from above 

And bow'd the heavens high ; 
And underneath his feet he cast 

The darkness of the sky.

Full royally he rode ; 
And on the wings of all the winds 

Came flying all abroad.

Who maketh his angels spirits ; his

He maketh kings to sit in soverainty ; 
He maketh subjects to their powre obey ;

All are but parts of one stupendous

Whose body Nature is, and God the 

soul ; 
That, changed through all, and yet in 

all the same ; 
Great in the earth, as in the ethereal 

frame ; 
Warms in the sun, refreshes in the 

breeze, 
Glows in the stars, and blossoms in the 

trees, 
Lives through all life, extends through 

all extent, 
Spreads undivided, operates unspent ; 
Breathes in our soul, informs our mortal 

part, 
As full, as perfect, in a hair as heart ; 
As full, as perfect, in vile Man that 

mourns, 
As the rapt seraph, that adores and 

burns : 



To Him no high, no low, no great, no 

small ; 

He fills, He bounds, connects, and equals 

all.

Voltaire. Epistle to the Author of the

[The context is as follows : 
Consulte Zoroastre, et Minos et Solon, 
Et le grand Socrate, et le grand Ciceron, 
Us orit adore tous un maitre, un juge, un

Ce systeme sublime a l'homme est neces-

Si les cieux d6pouilles de leur empreiiite 

auguste 
Pouvaient cesser jamais de le manifester 
Si Dieu n' existait pas, il faudraitl'inventer. 
Voltaire especially plumed himself upon 
this line. "Though I am seldom satisfied 
with my lines," he wrote to Frederick the 
Great, " I must confess that I feel for this 
one the tenderness of a father." It is quite 
likely that he did not know that the idea 
had been anticipated with more or less 



closeness. Thus Archbishop Tillotson, who 
died in 1712, the year of Voltaire's birth, has 
this : 

If God were not a necessary Being of him- 
self, he might almost seem to be made for 
the use and benefit of men. 

Sermon. 1G9L 

And more than sixteen centuries before 
Voltaire, Ovid had said : 
Expedit esse deos, et, ut expedit, esse

It is expedient that there should be gods, 
and as it is expedient, let us believe that 
they exist.

Bolingbroke. Letter to Mr. Pope.

queen. 

Pope. Iliad of Homer. Bk. iii. 1. 208. 

To that large utterance of the early 
gods ! 

Keats. Hyperion. Bk. i. 1. 51. 

By the love He stood alone in, 

His sole Godhead rose complete, 
And the false gods fell down moaning, 

Each from off his golden seat ; 
All the false gods with a cry 
Kendered up their deity — 
Pan, Pan was dead. 
Mrs. Browning. The Dead Pan. St. 



Let us swear an oath and keep it with 

an equal mind, 
In the hollow Lotos-land to live and lie 

reclined 
On the hills like gods together, careless 

of mankind. 
For they lie beside their nectar, and the 

bolts are hurled 
Far below them in the valleys, and the 

clouds are lightly curled 
Pound their golden houses, girdled with 

the gleaming world. 

Tennyson. The Lotos-eaters, viii. 

And first the golden race of speaking men 
Were by the dwellers in Olympus made ; 
They under Cronos lived, when he was king 
In heaven. Like gods were they, with care- 
less mind, 
From toil and sorrow free, and nought they 

knew 
Of dread old age. 

Hesiod. Works and Days. 109. 

I have always said, and will say, that there 

is a race of Gods, 
But I fancy that what men do is to them 
but little odds. 
Ennuis. Telamon. (W. F. H. King, 
trans.) 
[The lines are preserved by Cicero in De 
Inventione Rhetorica, ii., 50, 104.] 

Tantsene animis ccelestibus irse ? 
Can heavenly natures nourish hate, 
So fierce, so blindly passionate ? 

Virgil. JEneid. Bk. i. 1. 18. (Coning- 
ton, trans.) 

Tant de fiel entre-t-il dans Tame des 
devots ? 

Can so much gall find place in godly 
souls ? 

Boileau. Le Lutrin. 



In heavenly spirits could such perverseness 
dwell. 
Milton. Paradise Lost. Bk. vi. 1. 788. 

Never, believe me, 
Appear the Immortals, 
Never alone. 

Coleridge. The Visit of the Gods. (Imi- 
tated from Schiller.) 

Heartily know, 
When half-gods go, 
The gods arrive. 

Emerson. Give All to Lave. 

Fear not, then, thou child infirm ; 
There's no god dare wrong a worm. 

Ibid. Compensation. 

Wer nie sein Brod mit Thranen ass, 

Wer nie die kummervollen Nachte 
Auf seinem Bette weinend sass, 

Der kennt euch nicht, ihr himm- 
lischen Machte. 
Who never ate his bread in sorrow, 

Who never spent the darksome hours 
Weeping and watching for the morrow, — 

He knows ye not, ye heavenly powers. 
Goethe. WUhelm Meister. Bk. ii. Ch. 



GOETHE, JOHANN WOLF- 
GANG VON. 

Physician of the iron age 

Goethe has done his pilgrimage. 

He took the suffering human race, 

He read each wound, each weakness 

clear ; 
And struck his finger on the place, 
And said, " Thou ailest here and here !" 
Matthew Aknold. Death of Goethe. 

But Wordsworth's eyes avert their ken. 

From half of human fate ; 
And Goethe's course few sons of men 

May think to emulate. 

For he pursued a lonely road, 

His eyes on Nature's plan ; 
Neither made man too much a God, 

Nor God too much a man. 

Ibid. Obermann. 

GOLD. 

(See Money.) 

Quid non mortalia pectora cogis, 
Auri sacra fames ? 



GOLDSMITH, OLIVER.

Accursed thirst for gold ! what dost 
thou not compel mortals to do? 

VlBGIL. .Eneid. iii. 56. 
(See under Avarice.) 

A ii ro contra cedo modestum amatorem. 
Find me a reasonable lover against 
his weight in gold. 

Plautus. Curculio. i. 3, 45. 

For gold in phisike is a cordial ; 
Therefore he loved gold in special. 

Chaucer. Canterbury Tales. Prologue. 
1. 445. 

The strongest castle, tower, and town, 
The golden bullet beats it down. 

Shakespeare. The Passionate Pilgrim.

Romeo. Nor ope her lap to saint- 
. seducing gold. 

Ibid. Romeo and Juliet. Act i. Sc. 1.

Men have a touchstone whereby to try 
gold ; but gold is the touchstone whereby 
to try men.

Holy State; The Good Judge. 

Who shuts his hand, hath lost his gold : 
Who opens it, hath it twice told.

and Knots. 
(See under Gifts.) 

We live by the gold for which other 
men die. 

Prior. The Thief and Cordelier. St. 12. 

Judges and senates have been bought 

for gold ; 
Esteem and love were never to be sold. 
Pope. Essay on Man. Epistle iv. 1. 187. 

Then take what gold could never buy— 
An honest bard's esteem. 

Burns. To John McMurdo. 

Because my blessings are abus'd, 
Must I be censur'd, curs'd, accus'd? 
Even virtue's self by knaves is made 
A cloak to carry on the trade. 

Gay. Fables. Pt. i. Fable 6. The Miser 
and Plutus. 

Can gold calm passion, or make reason 

shine? 
Can we dig peace, or wisdom, from the 

mine? 
Wisdom to gold prefer; for 'tis much 

less 
To make our fortune than our happiness. 
Young. Love of Fame. Satire vi. 1. 279. 



Gold ! Gold ! Gold ! Gold ! 
Bright and yellow, hard ami oold, 
Molten, graven, haminer'd, and roll'd ; 
Heavy to get, and li^ht to hold ; 
Hoarded, barter'd, bought, and -.Id, 
Stolen, borrow'd, squander' d, doled: 
Spurn' d by the young, but huggMby the 

old 
To the very verge of the churchyard 

mould ; 
Price of many a crime untold : 
Gold! Gold! Gold ! Gold] 
Good or bad a thousand-fold ! 
How widely its agencies vary — 
To save — to ruin — to curse — to bless — 
As even its minted coins express, 
Now stamp'd with the image of Good 

Queen Bess, 
And now of a bloody Mary. 

Hood. Miss Kilmansegg : Her Moral. 

GOLDSMITH, OLIVER. 

Here lies Nolly Goldsmith, for shortness 

called Noll, 
Who wrote like an angel, and talk'd 
like poor Poll. 
Garrick. Impromptu Epitaph on Gold- 
smith. 

Are these the choice dishes the Doctor 

has sent us ? 
Is this the great poet whose works so 

content us? 
This Goldsmith's fine feast, who has 

written fine books? 
Heaven sends us good meat, but the 

devil sends cooks. 
Ibid. Epigram on Goldsmith's Poem 
Retaliation. 

Of Dr. Goldsmith he [Johnson] said, 
" No man was more foolish when he had 
not a pen in his hand, or more wise 
when he had." 

Boswell. Life of Johnson. Vol. vii. 
Ch. x. 

[According to the same authority, Tom 
Birch was the exact opposite of Goldsmith : 
Tom Birch ia as brisk as a bee in conver- 
sation ; but no sooner does he take a pen in 
his hand, than it becomes a torpedo to him, 
and benumbs all his faculties.

And so make life, death, and that vast

Greatness and goodness are not means, 

but ends ! 
Hath he not always treasures, always 

friends, 
The good, great man ? Three treasures, 

love and light, 
And calm thoughts, regular as infants' 

breath ; 
And three firm friends, more sure than 

day and night, — 
Himself, his Maker, and the angel 

Death. 
Coleridge. The Good Great Man. (Entitled 
Complaint in early editions.) 

There shall never be one lost good ! 

what was shall live as before ; 
The evil is null, is nought, is silence

evil so much good more ; 
On the earth the broken arcs ; in the 

heaven a perfect round.

Who ravag'd kingdoms, and laid empires

Burke. Reflections on'the Revolution in

The moment you abate anything from

In politics it is almost a triviality to

GRACE.

The greatest happiness of the greatest 
number is the foundation of morals and 
legislation. 

Jeremy Bentham. Works. Vol. x. p. 
142. 

[The phrase is identified with Bentham, 
who is undoubtedly responsible for its gen- 
eral introduction into literature. He never 
lost an opportunity to enforce it as the 
touchstone of all just legislation and cor- 
rect morality. But he has acknowledged 
that it was not original. "Priestley," he 
says, " was the first (unless it was Beccaria) 
who taught my lips to pronounce this sacred 
truth,— that the greatest happiness of the 
greatest number is the foundation of morals 
and legislation. ' ' Beccaria was probably the 
one, for the seutiment may be found in the 
introduction to his Essays on Crimes and 
Punishments (1764), where he describes "a 
wise observer of nature " as " occupied in 
directing the actions of the multitude to 
this one end,— the greatest happiness di- 
vided among the largest number " ("La mas- 
sima bonta divisa nel maggior numero"). 
None the less the germ of the idea exists in 
this sentence in Priestley : " The good and 
happiness of the members, that is, the 
majority of the members of any State, is the 
great standard by which everything relat- 
ing to that State must finally be deter- 
mined." Before Priestley, however, and 
before Beccaria, in the year 1720, to wit, 
Hutcheson, in his Inquiry Concerning Moral 
Good and Evil (section 3), had said : " The 
moral evil or vice is as the degree of misery 
and number of the sufferers, so that that 
action is best which produces the greatest 
happiness for the greatest numbers." Bul- 
wer-Lytton's humorous paraphrase, put into 
the mouth of Kenelm Chillingly, in the 
novel of that name, is well known : " The 
greatest happiness of the greatest number is 
best secured by a prudent consideration for 
Number One." Analogies more or less re- 
mote may be found below : 



Our object in the construction of the state 
is the greatest happiness of the whole, and 
not that of any one class. 
Plato. Republic, iv. 1. (Jowett, trans.) 

(Plato puts this phrase into the mouth of 
Socrates.) 

The aggregate happiness of society, which 
is best promoted by the practice of a virtu- 
ous policy, is, or ought to be, the end of all 
government. 
•George Washington. Political Maxims. 

/That is the best government which de- 
ysires to make the people happy, and knows 
' how to make them happy.

Greece. 1824.]

[The latter phrase and the first four words 
of the quotation from Martial were so fre- 
quently used on Roman tombstones that 
they came to be intelligibly abbreviated as 
R. I. P. or S. T. T. L. respectively. Martial 
has been multitudinously imitated. A few 
examples from English literature follow : 
Lie lightly on my ashes, gentle earth ! 

Beaumont and Fletcher. Bonduca.

Herrick. Upon a Child that Died.

Lady, he's dead and gone I 
And at his head a green grass turfe, 

And at his heels a stone. 
Thomas Percy. The Friar of Orders Gray. 
[This ballad, preserved in Percy's Reliques 
of Ancient Poetry, is a sort of literary mosaic 
made up of fifteenth and sixteenth century 
fragments pieced together with original 
passages by Percy himself. Shakespeare 
puts the above quatrain into the mouth of 
the mad Ophelia (Hamlet, Act iv., Sc. 5) with 
some slight verbal differences : 
He is dead and gone, lady, 

He is dead and gone ; 
At his head a grass-green turf, 
At his heels a stone.]

GREECE: GREEK. 



333 



The heart ran o'er 
With silent worship of the great of old! — 
The dead, but sceptred sovereigns, who 

still rule 
Our spirits from their urns. 

Byron. Man/red. Act iii. Sc. 4. 

GREECE; GREEK. 
Graecuni est, non potest legi. 

It is Greek, it cannot be read. 

Francis Accursius. 
[The origin of the Boar's head served 
every Christmas at Queen's College, Oxon., 
is traced to a remote period, when a scholar 
of the college, encountering a wild boar in 
Bagley Wood, thrust the volume of Aristotle 
which he was reading into the savage 
brutes jaws, crying out, "Graecuni est!" 
and so both choked his assailant and saved 
his own life.] 

Cassius. Did Cicero say anything? 
Casca. Ay, he spoke Greek. 
Cassius. To what effect ? 
Casca. Nay, an I tell you that, I'll 
ne'er look you i' the face again: but 
those that understood him smiled at one 
another, and shook their heads ; but, for 
mine own part, it was Greek to me. 
Shakespeare. Julius Cxsar. Act i. Sc. 
2. 1. 281. 
Accipe nunc Danaum insidias, et 

crimine ab uno 
Disce omnes. 

Recognize now the treachery of the 
Greeks, and from one example learn the 
character of all. 

Virgil. Mneid. ii. 65. 



When Greeks joined Greeks then was 

the tug of war, 
The labored battle sweat, and conquest 

bled 

Philip fought men, but Alexander 
women. 

Nathaniel Lee. Alexander the Great. 
Act iv. Sc. 2. 
[The first line is constantly misquoted as 
When Greek meets Greek then comes the 
tug of war. 
Lee puts the saying into the mouth of 
Clytus (Kleitos) in the heated dispute with 
Alexander, which goaded the conqueror to 
murder his old friend. Clytus is compar- 
ing Alexander disadvantageous^ with his 
father, Philip. In the second line, with its 
strained personification of battle and con- 
quest, sweat (= sweated) is the old past 
teme.] 



Athens, the eye of Greece, mother of 

arts 
And eloquence. 

Milton. Paradise Regained. Bk. iv. 1.

My faithful scene from true records shall 

tell, 
How Trojan valour did the Greek excel ; 
Your great forefathers shall their fame 

regain, 
And Homer's angry ghost repine in 

vain. 

Dryden. Prologue to Troilus and Cres- 
sida. Concluding lines. 

Again to the battle, Achaians I 
Our hearts bid the tyrants defiance I 
Our land, the first garden of Liberty's 

tree, 
It has been, and shall yet be, the land 

of the free. 

Campbell. Song of the Greeks. 

Ancient of days ! august Athena ! where, 
Where are thy men of might, thy grand 

in soul ? 
Gone — glimmering through the dream 

of things that were : 
First in the race that led to glory's goal, 
They won, and pass'd away. 

Byron. Childe Harold. Canto ii. St. 2. 

And yet how lovely in thine age of woe, 
Land of lost gods and godlike men I art 
thou ! 
Ibid. Childe Harold. Canto ii. St. 85. 

The isles of Greece, the isles of Greece ! 
Where burning Sappho loved and

Where grew the arts of war and peace, — 
Where Delos rose, and Phoebus 
sprung 1 
Eternal summer gilds them yet, 
But all, except their sun, is set. 

Ibid. Don Juan. Canto iii. St. 86. 1.

And Marathon looks on the sea ; 
And musing there an hour alone,

GRIEF. 



Such is the aspect of this shore ; 
'Tis Greece, but living Greece no more 1 
So coldly sweet, so deadly fair, 
We start, for soul is wanting there. 

Byron. The Giaour. 1. 90. 

Clime of the unforgotten brave I 
Whose land, from plain to mountain- 
cave, 
Was Freedom's home, or Glory's grave ; 
Shrine of the mighty ! can it be, 
That this is all remains of thee ? 

Ibid. The Giaour. 1. 104. 

Wherever literature consoles sorrow 
or assuages pain ; wherever it brings 
gladness to eyes which fail with wake- 
fulness and tears, and ache for the dark 
house and the long sleep, — there is ex- 
hibited in its noblest form the immortal 
influence of Athens. 

Macaulay. Essays. Mitford's Greece. 



GRIEF. 

(See Sorrow.) 

De profundis clarnavi ad te, Domine. 
Domine exaude vocem meam. 

Out of the depths have I cried unto 
thee, O Lord. Lord, hear my voice. 

Old Testament ( Vulgate). Psalm cxxx. 
1,2. 
[This is the funeral psalm chanted in the 
mass for the dead. From its first words it 
is known as the De Profundis.] 

The iron entered into his soul. 
The Book of Common Prayer. Psalm cv. 
18. 
[In the Authorized Version of the Bible 
this is translated, " He was laid in iron."] 

Lady Capulet. Some grief shews much 
of love ; 
But much of grief shews still some want 
of wit. 
Shakespeare. Romeo and Juliet. Act 
iii. Sc. 5. 1. 73. 

Bushy. Each substance of a grief hath 

twenty shadows, 
Which show like grief itself, but is 

not so; 
For sorrow's eye, glaz&d with blinding 

tears, 
Divides one thing entire to many 

objects ; 



Like perspectives, which, rightly gazed 

upon, 
Show nothing but confusion, — eyed awry, 
Distinguish form. 

Shakespeare. Richard II. Act ii. Sc. 
2. 1. 14. 

Constance. I will instruct my Sorrows 

to be proud ; 
For Grief is proud, and makes his owner 

stoop. 
To me, and to the state of my great 

Grief, 
Let kings assemble ; for my Griefs so 

great, 
That no supporter but the huge firm 

earth 
Can hold it up. — Here I and Sorrows sit ; 
Here is my throne, bid kings come bow 

to it.

Belarius. Great griefs, I see, medicine 
the less. 

Ibid. Cymbeline. Act iv. Sc. 2. 1. 243. 

Brabanlio. Nor doth the general care 
Take hold on me, for my particular grief 
Is of so flood-gate and o'erbearing nature 
That it engluts and swallows other 

sorrows 
And it is still itself. 

Ibid. Othello. Act i. Sc. 3. 1. 54. 

Great joys, like griefs, are silent. 
Shakerley Marmion. Holland's Leaguer. 
Act v. Sc. 1. 

In all the silent manliness of grief. 
Goldsmith. Deserted Village. 1. 384. 

I tell you, hopeless grief is passionless ; 
That only men incredulous of despair, 
Half-taught in anguish, through the mid- 
night air 
Beat upward to God's throne in loud access 
Of shrieking and reproach. 

Mrs. Browning. Sonnets: Grief. 

The flood of grief decreaseth when it 
can swell no longer. 

Bacon. Moral and Historical Works. 
Ornamenta Rationalia. 

With woful measures wan Despair, 
Low, sullen sounds his grief beguiled ; 

A solemn, strange, and mingled air ; 
'Twas sad by fits, by starts was wild. 
William Collins. The Passions. 1. 25. 

There is a solemn luxurv in grief. 
William Mason. The English Garden. 
1.25. 



HAIR AND BEARD. 



335 



Weep on ! and as thy sorrows flow, 
I'll taste the luxury of woe. 

Moore. Anacreontic. 

It is dangerous to abandon one's self to 
toe luxury uf grief: it deprives one of cour- 
age, and even of the wish for recovery.

Humphry Ward, trans.)

A similar saying is " Caught red-handed," 

which, originally applied to murderers, has 

now extended its meaning to all offenders 

caught in the act.] 

Queen. So full of artless jealousy is 
guilt, 
It spills itself in fearing to be spilt. 

Shakespeare. Hamlet. Act iv. Sc. 5. 
1. 20. 

1 know not, I ask not, if guilt's in that 

heart, 
I but know that I love thee, whatever 
thou art. 

Moore. Come Rest in This Bosom. 

Thy faults, my Lesbia, have such charm 

for me, 
So far in love of thee I've lost myself,

well, 
Nor cease to worship thee whate'er thy 
sins. 
Catullus. Odes, lxxiii. 1. (W. M. F. 
King, trans.) 

Let no guilty man escape, if it can

HABIT. 

(See Custom.) 

That to which we have been accus- 
tomed becomes, as it were, a part of our 
nature. 

Aristotle. Rhetorica. i. 11. 

Habit is a second nature. 

Montaigne. Essays. Bk. iii. Ch. x. 

Mihi, qui omnem aetatem in optimis 
artibus egi, bene facere jam ex con- 
suetudine in naturam vertit. 

In my own case, who have spent my 
whole life in the practice of virtue, right 
conduct from habitual life has become 
natural. 

Sallust. Jugurtha. lxxxv. 

This restless world 
Is full of chances, which by habit's 

power 
To learn to bear is easier than to shun.

Ease leads to habit, as success to ease, 
He lives by rule who lives himself to 
please. 

Crabbe. Tales, ii. 

The glorious habit by which sense is 

made 
Subservient still to moral purposes, 
Auxiliar to divine. 

Wordsworth. The Excursion. Bk. iv. 
1. 1246. 

Habit is the approximation of the 
animal system to the organic. It is a 
confession of failure in the highest func- 
tion of being, which involves a perpetual 
self-determination, in full view of all 
existing circumstances. 

Holmes. The Autocrat of the Breakfast- 
table.

Nor grew it white 

In a single night, 
As men's have grown with sudden fears.

Those shocks of passion can prepare 
That kill the bloom before its time,

King Philip. Bind up those tresses. 
O, what love I note 
In the fair multitude of those her hairs !

Like true, inseparable, faithful loves, 
Sticking together in calamity.

Nourish'd two locks, which graceful 
hung behind 

In equal curls, and well conspired to

With shining ringlets, the smooth ivory

Love in these labyrinths his slaves 
detains, 

And mighty hearts are held in slender

339 



That something still which prompts the 

eternal sigh, 
For which we bear to live, or dare to 

die. 
Pope. Essay on Man. Epistle iv. 1. 1. 

Some place the bliss iu action, some in 

ease, 
Those call it pleasure, and contentment 

these.

The spider's most attenuated thread 
Is cord, is cable, to man's tender tie 
On earthly bliss ; it breaks at every 
breeze. 
Young. Xight Thoughts. Night i. 1. 178. 

And e'en while fashion's brightest arts 

decoy, 
The heart distrusting asks if this be joy. 

Goldsmith. Deserted Village. 1. 263. 

There comes 
For ever something between us and what 
We deem our happiness. 

Byron, tardanapalus. Act i. Sc. 2. 

It is a flaw 
In happiness, to see beyond our bourn,— 
It.forees us in summer skies to mourn, 
It spoils the singing of the nightingale.

If happiness hae not her seat 

And center in the breast, 
We may be wise or rich or great, 

But never can be blest.

In luxury of disrespect 
To our own prodigal excess 
Of too familiar happiness.

Lowell. Vision of Sir Launfal. Prelude 
to Pt. i. 1. 61. 



How small of all that human hearts 

endure, 
That part which kings or laws can cause 

or cure ! 
Still to ourselves in every place consign'd, 
Our own felicity we make or find ; 
With secret course, which no loud 

storms annoy, 
Glides the smooth current of domestic 

joy: 
The lifted axe, the agonizing wheel, 
Luke's iron crown, and Damien's bed 

of steel, 
To men remote from power, but rarely 

known, 
Leave reason, faith, and conscience, all 
our own.

Traveller.

" To stop too fearful, and too faint to go ; 
and the concluding ten lines except the last 
couplet but one."

happy, as we suppose ourselves to be.

And feel that I am happier than I know. 
Milton. Paradise Lost. Bk. viii. 1. 282. 

She was a soft landscape of mild earth, 
Where all was harmony, and calm, and 

quiet, 
Luxuriant, budding ; cheerful without 

mirth, 
Which, if not happiness, is much more 

nigh it 
Than are your mighty passions. 

Byron. Don Juan. Canto vi. St. 53. 

All who joy would win 
Must share it, — Happiness was born a 
twin.

HARMONY.

From harmony to harmony 
Through all the compass of the notes 

it ran,

1. 11. 

By harmony our souls are sway'd ;

Untwisting all the chains that tie 
The hidden soul of harmony. 

Milton. L' Allegro. 1. 143. 

All nature is but art, unknown to thee ; 
All chance, direction, which thou canst 

not see ;

All partial evil, universal good ; 
And spite of pride, in erring reason's 

spite, 
One truth is clear, Whatever is, is right.

cordant powers draws out the harmony of 
the universe. 

Bueke. Reflections on the Revolution in 
France. Works. Vol. iii. 

Here earth and water seem to strive 
again ; 

Not chaos-like together crush'd and 
bruised, 

But, as the world, harmoniously con- 
fused ; 

Where order in variety we see, 

And where, though all things differ, all 
agree. 

Pope. Windsor Forest. 1. 12. 

There shall never be one lost good I 
What was, shall live as before ; 
The evil is null, is nought, is silence 
implying sound ; 
What was good shall be good, with for 
evil so much good more ; 
On the earth the broken arcs ; in the 
heaven, a perfect round. 

Browning. Abt Vogler. ix.

Where love draws hate, and hate engender- 
ed love ? 

Sir P. Sidney. Arcadia. Bk. iii. 

Once when I loved, I would enlace 
Breast, eyelids, hands, feet, form and face 
Of her I loved in one embrace- 
As if by mere love I could love immensely ! 
And when I hated I would plunge 
My sword and wipe with the first lunge 
My foe's whole life out like a sponge-

But now I am wiser, know better the fashion 
How passion seeks aid from its opposite

He lends out money gratis and brings 

down 
The rate of usance here with us in 

Venice. 
If I can catch him once upon the hip, 
I will feed fat the ancient grudge I bear 

him. 
He hates our sacred nation ; and he 

rails, 
Even there where merchants most do 

congregate, 
On me, my bargains, and my well won 

thrift, 
Which he calls interest. Cursed be my 

tribe, 
If I forgive him !

Over fabric half so fair.

And put a barren sceptre in my gripe, 
Thence to be wrench'd with an unlineal

HELL. 

Fear not them which kill the body, 
but are not able to kill the soul ; but 
rather fear Him which is able to destroy 
both soul and body in hell. 

New Testament. Matthew x. 28. 

Do not be troubled by Saint Bernard's 
saying that hell is full of good inten- 
tions and wills. 

Francis De Sales. Spiritual Letters.

Hell is full of good meanings and wish-

Herbert. Jacula Prudentum. 

Hell is paved with good intentions. 

[So Dr. Johnson quotes the proverb in 
Boswell's Life, April 14, 1775. The German 
form, " The road to hell is paved with good 
intentions," seems better than any of the 
English forms.] 

Wide is the gate and broad is the way 
that leadeth to destruction, and many 
there be which go in thereat : Because 
strait is the gate and narrow is the way 
which leadeth unto life, and few there 
be that find it. 

New Testament. Matthew vii. 13, 14.

Ibid. Paradise Lost. Bk. iv. 1. 75. 

Hell hath no limits, nor is circumscrib'd 
In one self-place ; for where we are is Hell ; 
And where Hell is, there must we ever be ;

And every creature shall be purified. 
All places shall be Hell that are not Heaven.

A dungeon horrible, on all sides round,

Thaws not, but gathers heap, and ruin 



Of ancient pile : all else, deep snow and 

ice, 
A gulf profound, as that Serbonian bog 
Betwixt Damiata and Mount Casius old, 
Where armies whole have sunk : the 

parching air 
Burns frore, and cold performs the effect 

of fire. 
Thither, by harpy-footed Furies haled, 
At certain revolutions all the damned 
Are brought ; and feel by turns the bit- 
ter change 
Of fierce extremes, extremes by change 

more fierce, 
From beds of raging fire to starve in ice 
Their soft ethereal warmth, and there to 

pine 
Immovable, infixed, and frozen round, 
Periods of time ; thence hurried back to 

fire. 
Ibid. Paradise Lost. Bk. ii. 1. 587. 



Wherefore with thee 
Came not all hell broke loose. 

Milton. Paradise Lost. Bk. iv. 1. 917. 

Here we may reign secure ; and in my 

choice 
To reign is worth ambition, though in hell. 
Better to reign in hell than serve in 

heaven. 

Ibid. Paradise Lost. Bk. i. 1.261. 

[The devil of Stafford's Niobe (published 
in 1611) anticipated the devil of Milton's 
Paradise Lost : 

Now forasmuch as I was an Angel of 
Light, it was the Will of Wisdom to confine 
me to Darkness, and make me Prince 
thereof; so that I, that could not obey in 
Heaven, might command in Hell ; and 
believe me, I had rather rule within my 
dark domain than to rehabit Coelum 
Imperium, and there live in subjection 
under check, a slave of the Most High. 

There is also a parallel passage in Fletch- 
er's Purple Island, Canto vii. : 

In heaven they scorn to serve, so now in 
hell they reign.]

Though thither doom'd ?

HERMIT. 

Shall I, like an hermit, dwell 
On a rock or in a cell ? 

Sir Walter Raleigh. Poem. (Quoted 
in Cayley's Life of Raleigh. Vol. i.) 

Far in a wild, unknown to public view, 
From youth to age a reverend hermit 

grew; 
The moss his bed, the cave his humble 

cell, 
His food the fruits, his drink the crystal 

well: 
Remote from man, with God he pass'd 

the days ; 
Prayer all his business, all his pleasure 

praise. 

Parnell. The Hermit. St. 1. 

Turn, gentle Hermit of the Dale, 

And guide my lonely way 
To where yon taper cheers the vale 

With hospitable ray. 

Goldsmith. The Hermit. 

Hermit hoar, in solemn cell 

Wearing out life's evening gray ; 
Smite thy bosom, sage, and tell 

What is bliss, and which the way? 
Thus I spoke, and speaking sighed : — 

Scarce repressed the starting tear ; — 
When the smiling sage replied, 

" Come, my lad, and drink some beer." 
Dr. Johnson. Boswell's Life. September 
18, 1777.

Mme. Cornuel. (According to Mdlle. 

Aisse, LeUres. p. 166.) 

[Marshal Catinat had already said, "A 

man must indeed be a hero to appear such 

to his valet." Other remoter anticipations 

of the thought may be quoted : 

The nearer one approaches to great per- 
sons, the more one sees that they are but 
men. Rarely are they great in the eyes of 
their valets. 

La Bruyere. Caracteres. 

Many a man has seemed to the world to 
be a miracle, in whom his wife and his 
valet have not seen anything remarkable. 
Few men have been admired by their ser- 
vants.

These are Clan- Alpine's warriors true, 
And, Saxon, I am Roderick I)hu ! 
Scott. Lady of the Lake. Canto v. St. 9. 

Heroes, it would seem, exist always, 
and a certain worship of them I We 
will also take the liberty to deny alto- 
gether that saying of the witty French- 
man, that no man is a hero to his vah-t- 
de-chambre. Or, if so, it is not the 
hero's blame, but the valet's : that his 
soul, namely, is a mean valet-soul. 

Carlyle. Hero Worship. The Hero as 
Man of Letters. 

No one, it is said, is a hero to his own ser- 
vant ; but that arises simply from the cir- 
cumstance that a hero can only be known 
by heroes. The servant would probably be 
able to appreciate those like himself. 

Goethe. Maxims. Vol. iii. p. 204. 

Heroes are much the same, the point's

Of the three hundred grant but three,

The characteristic of genuine heroism 
is its persistency. All men have wan- 
dering impulses, fits and starts of gen- 
erosity. But when you have resolved 
to be great, abide by yourself, and do 
not weakly try to reconcile yourself with 
the world. The heroic cannot be the 
common, nor the common the heroic. 
Emerson. Essays: Heroism. 

Go with mean people and you think

Carlyle. Essays. On History. 

I shall be content if those shall pro-

themselves at some future time — if not 
exactly the same, yet very similar. 

Thucydides. Historia. i. 2, 2.

itself."] 

It is no great wonder if in long process of 
time, while fortune takes her course hither 
and thither, numerous coincidences should 
spontaneously occur. If the number and 
variety of subjects to be wrought upon be 
infinite, it is all the more easy for fortune, 
with such an abundance of material, to 
effect this similarity of results.

HOLLAND. 

A country that draws fifty foot of water, 
In which men live as in the hold of 

nature ;

break, 
And drowns a province, does but spring 

a leak. 

That feed, like cannibals, on other fishes, 
And serve their cousin-germans up in 

dishes. 
A land that rides at anchor, and is 

moored, 
In which they do not live, but go aboard.

We do not know, and perhaps it would be 
impossible to discover, whether Butler 
mote his minor pieces before those of the 
great patriot Andrew Marvell, who rivalled 
him in wit and excelled him in poetry. 
Marvell, though born later, seems to have 
been known earlier as an author. He was 
certainly known publicly before him. But 
in the political poems of Marvell there is 
a ludicrous character of Holland, which 
might be pronounced to be either the copy 
or the original of Butler's, if in those anti- 
Batavian times the Hollander had not been 
baited by all the wits ; and were it not prob- 
able that the unwieldy monotony of his 
character gave rise to much the same ludi- 
crous imagery in many of their fancies.

us there, 
Which sought through the world is ne'er 

met with elsewhere. 
An exile from home splendour dazzles 

in vain, 
Oh give me my lowly thatched cottage

my call, 
Give me them, and that peace of mind

From our own selves our joys must flow, 

And that dear hut, our home.

Horses, oxen, have a home 
When from daily toil they come ;

The bird let loose in Eastern skies, 

When hastening fondly home,

Where nothing earthly bounds her flight 

Nor shadow dims her way.

Much have I travell' d in the realms of

Bound many western islands have I 
been 
Which bards in fealty to Apollo hold. 
Oft of one wide expanse had I been told 
That deep-brow'd Homer ruled as his 

demesne, 
Yet did I never breathe its pure 
serene 
Till I heard Chapman speak out loud 

and bold : 
Then felt I like some watcher of the 
skies 
When a new planet swims into his ken ; 
Or like stout Cortez when with eagle 
eyes 
He stared at the Pacific, and all his 
men 
Look'd at each other with a wild sur-

Silent, upon a peak in Darien.

That gives the stamp and standard to 

the rest.

King. From lowest place when virtuous 

things proceed, 
The place is dignified by the doer's deed :

The property by what it is should go, 
Not by the title.

The darkest hour is just before dawn. 

[An old English proverb which finds its 
analogue in every language. It is based on 
physical fact, for, as a rule, the darkest 
hour in the night is when the moon has 
reached far on to the western horizon, while 
the sun is still below the eastern horizon.] 

But the nearer the dawn the darker the 

night, 
And by going wrong all things come right ; 
Things have been mended that were worse, 
And the worse, the nearer they are to mend. 

Longfellow. Tales of a Wayside Inn. 
The Baron of St. Castine. 1. 265.

HOPE.

Thus, when the lamp that lighted 

The traveller at first goes out, 
He feels awhile benighted. 

And luoks around in fear and doubt. 
But soon, the prospect clearing, 

By cloudless starlight on he treads, 
And thinks no lamp so cheering 

As that light which Heaven sheds. 
Thomas Moore. I'd Mourn the Hopes. 

In man's most dark extremity 
Oft succour dawns from Heaven. 
Scott. Lord of the Isles. Canto i. St. 20. 

Be still, sad heart, and cease repining; 
Behind the clouds the sun is shining ; 
Thy fate is the common fate of all, 
Into each life some rain must fall, 
Some days must be dark and dreary. 

Longfellow. The Rainy Day. Con- 
cluding lines. 

Pandulpk. Before the curing of a

day? 
Lewis. All days of glory, joy, and hap-

Pandulph. If you had won it, cer-

Now let us thank the Eternal Power :

L. Bard. Who lined himself with 

hope, 
Eating the air on promise of supply, 
Flattering himself in project of a

And so, with great imagination, 
Proper to madmen, led his powers to 

death, 
And, winking, leap'd into destruction.

But gives that hope to be thy blessing

HUSBAND. 



Hippolyta. I was with Hercules and 

Cadmus once, 
When in a wood of Crete they bay'd the 

bear 
With hounds of Sparta: never did I 

hear 
Such gallant chiding; for, besides the 

groves, 
The skies, the fountains, every region 

near 
Seem'd all one mutual cry: I never 

heard 
So musical a discord, such sweet thunder. 
Shakespeare. Midsummer Night's Dream.

Duke Senior. Come, shall we go and 

kill us venison? 
And yet it irks me, the poor dappled

Being native burghers of this desert

Should, in their own confines, with 

forked heads 
Have their round haunches gored.

groans, 
That their discharge did stretch his 

leathern coat 
Almost to bursting ; and the big round 

tears 
Coursed one another down his innocent 

nose 
In piteous chase.

The big round tears run down his dappled 

face; 
He groans in anguish. 

Thomson. Autumn, v. 451. 

So have I seen some fearful hare maintain 
A course, till tired before the dog she lay ; 
Who, stretched behind her, pants upon the 
plain, 
Past power to kill, as she to get away. 
With his loll'd tongue he faintly licks his 
prey, 
His warm breath blows her flix up as she 
lies; 
She, trembling, creeps upon the ground 
away, 
And looks back to him with beseeching 
eyes. 

Dryden. Annus Mirabilis. 1. 521.

To watch the night in storms, the day 

in cold, 
While thou liest warm at home, secure

And craves no other tribute at thy 

hands, 
But love, fair looks, and true obedience ; 
Too little payment for so great a debt. 

Shakespeare. Taming of the Shrew. 
Act v. Sc. 2. 1. 146. 

Katherine. Such duty as the subject 
owes the prince, 
Even such a woman oweth to her hus- 
band ; 
And, when she's froward, peevish, sul- 
len, sour, 
And, not obedient to his honest will, 
What is she, but a foul contending rebel, 
And graceless traitor to her loving 

lord? 
I am asham'd that women are so simple 
To offer war where they should kneel 

for peace; 
Or seek for rule, supremacy, and sway, 
When they are bound to serve, love, and 

obey. 
Why are our bodies soft, and weak, and 

smooth, 
Unapt to toil and trouble in the world, 
But that our 6oft conditions and our 

hearts, 
Should well agree with our external 
parts?

For neither man nor angel can discern 
Hypocrisy, the only evil that walks 
Invisible, except to God alone, 
By His permissive will, through Heaven 

and Earth ; 
And oft, though Wisdom wake, Sus- 
picion sleeps 
At Wisdom's gate, and to Simplicity 
Resigns her charge, while goodness 

thinks no ill 
Where no ill seems. 

Milton. Paradise Lost. Bk. iii. 1. 682. 

L'hypocrisie est un hommage que le 
vice rend a la vertu. 

Hypocrisy is the homage vice pays to 
virtue.

is a mockery of virtue, is at the same time 
a compliment to it.

IMAGINATION. 

Theseus. The lunatic, the lover, and 
the poet 
Are of imagination all compact : 



One sees more devils than vast hell can 

hold, 
That is, the madman : the lover, all as 

frantic, 
Sees Helen's beauty in a brow of 

Egypt : 
The poet's eye, in a fine frenzy rolling, 
Doth glance from heaven to earth, from 

earth to heaven ; 
And as imagination bodies forth 
The forms of things unknown, the poet's 

pen 
Turns them to shape, and gives to airy 

nothing 
A local habitation and a name. 

Shakespeare. A Midsummer Night's 
Dream. Act v. Sc. 1. 1.7. 

Theseus. Such tricks hath strong 
imagination, 
That if it would but apprehend some 

joy, 

It comprehends some bringer of that 

joy;

Oh, no ! the apprehension of the good 
Gives but the greater feeling to the

Fell sorrow's tooth doth never rankle 

more 
Than when it bites, but lanceth not the 

sore. 
Ibid. Richard II. Act i. Sc. 3. 1. 295.

IMMORTALITY. 

'Tis true ; 'tis certain ; man though dead 

retains 
Part of himself; the immortal mind 
remains. 
Homer. Eiad. Bk. xxiii. 1. 122. (Pope,

Non omnis moriar, multaque pars mei 
Vitabit Libitinam. 
I shall not wholly die ; large residue 
Shall 'scape the queen of funerals. 

Horace. Odes. iii. 30, 6. (Conington,

On the cold cheek of Death smiles and roses 

are blending, 
And beauty immortal awakes from the

There is nothing strictly immortal 
but immortality. Whatever hath no 
beginning may be confident of no end, 
which is the peculiar of that necessary 
essence that cannot destroy itself ; and 
the highest strain of omnipotency, to be 
so powerfully constituted as not to suffer 
even from the power of itself; all others 
have a dependent being, and within the 
reach of destruction.

Milton, the Reason of Church Government. 
Introduction. Bk. ii. 

Cato. It must be so, — Plato, thou rea- 

sonest well ! 
Else whence this pleasing hope, this 

fond desire, 
This longing after immortality? 
Or whence this secret dread and inward 

horror 
Of falling into naught ? Why shrinks 

the soul 
Back on herself, and startles at destruc- 
tion ? 
'Tis the divinity that stirs within us ; 
'Tis Heaven itself that points out an 

hereafter, 
And intimates eternity to man. 
Eternity ! thou pleasing, dreadful 

thought ! 

Addison. Cato. Act v. Sc. 1. 

Cato. I'm weary of conjectures, — this 

must end 'em. 
Thus am I doubly armed: my death 

and life, 
My bane and antidote, are both before 

me : 
This in a moment brings me to an end ; 
But this informs me I shall never die. 
The soul, secured in her existence, smiles 
At the drawn dagger, and defies its point. 
The stars shall fade away, the sun him- 
self 
Grow dim with age, and Nature sink in 

years ; 
But thou shalt flourish in immortal 

youth, 
Unhurt amidst the war of elements, 
The wrecks of matter, and the crush of 

worlds.

Browning. Rabbi Ben Ezra.

INCOMPLETENESS. 

Labor with what zeal we will,

Longfellow. Something Left Undone. 

Something there was in her life incom- 
plete, imperfect, unfinished ;

Suddenly paused in the sky, and, fad-

Into the east again, from whence it late 
had arisen. 
Ibid. Evangeline. Pt. ii. St. 1. 1. 24.

The wizard hand lies cold, 
Which at its topmost speed let fall the

And the lost clew regain ? 
The unfinished window in Aladdin's 
tower 
Unfinished must remain !

INCONSISTENCY. 

Unthought-of frailties cheat us in the 
wise; 

The fool lies hid in inconsistencies. 
See the same man, in vigour, in the 
gout ; 

Alone, in company ; in place, or out ; 

Early at business, and at hazard late ; 

Mad at a fox-chase, wise at a debate ; 

Drunk at a borough, civil at a ball ; 

Friendly at Hackney, faithless at White- 
hall!

assume among the powers of the earth

the laws of nature and of nature's God 
entitle them, a decent respect to the 
opinions of mankind requires that they 
should declare the causes which impel 
them to the separation.

INDEX. 

An index is a necessary implement, 
and no impediment, of a book, except in 
the same sense wherein the carriages of 
an army are termed impediments. With- 
out this a large author is but a labyrinth 
without a clew to direct the reader 
therein. I confess there is a lazy kind 
of learning, which is only indical ; where 
scholars (like adders which only bite the 
horse heels) nibble but at the tables, 
which are called calces librorum, neglect- 
ing the body of the book. But, though 
the idle deserve no crutches (let not a 
staff be used by them, but on them), 
pity it is the weary should be denied 
the benefit thereof, and industrious 
scholars prohibited the accommodation 
of an index, most used by those who 
most pretend to contemn it. 

Thomas Fuller. History of the Worthies 

of England. Norfolk. Writers. Alan 

of IJyn. 

The most accomplished way of using 
books at present is twofold : either, first, 
to serve them as men do lords, — learn 
their titles exactly and then brag of 
their acquaintance ; or, secondly, which 
is, indeed, the choicer, the profounder 
and politer method, to get a thorough 
insight into the index; by which the 
whole book is governed and turned, 
like fishes by the tail. For to enter the 
palace of learning at the great gate re- 
quires an expense of time and forms, 
therefore men of much haste and little 
ceremony are content to get in by the 
back door. . . . For this great bless- 
ing we are wholly indebted to systems 
and abstracts, in which the modern 



fathers of learning, like prudent usurers, 
spent their sweat for the ease of us their 
children. For labor is the seed of idle- 
ness, and it is the peculiar happiness of 
our noble age to gather the fruit. 

Swift. A Tale of a Tub. A Digression in 
Praise of Digressions. 

Index-learning turns no student pale, 
Yet holds the eel of science bv the tail. 
Pope. The Dunciad. Bk. i. 1. 279. 

So essential did I consider an index 
to be to every book, that I proposed to 
briug a bill into Parliament to deprive 
an author who publishes a book without 
an index of the privilege of copyright, 
and, moreover, to subject him for his 
offence to a pecuniary penalty.

Forever flushing round a summer sky: 

There eke the soft delights that witch- 
ingly 

Instil a wanton sweetness through the 
breast, 

And the calm pleasures always hover'd 
nigh; 

But whate'er smack'd of noyance or 
unrest 

Was far, far off expell'd from this de- 
licious nest. 
Ibid. The Castle of Indolence. Canto i. 
St. 6. 

In the afternoon they came unto a land 

In which it seemed always afternoon, 

All round the coast the languid air did 

swoon, 
Breathing like one that hath aweary dream. 
Full-faced above the valley stood the moon ; 
And like a downward smoke, the slender 

stream 
Along the cliff to fall and pause, and pause 

and fall did seem.

INN. 



If speaking, why, a vane blown with all

These great rich men take their ease i'

Middleton. The World Tost at Tennis. 

There is no private house in which people 
can enjoy themselves so well as at a capital 
tavern. Let there be ever so great plenty 
of good things, ever so much grandeur, ever 
so much elegance, ever so much desire that 
everybodv should be easy, in the nature of 
things it cannot be: there must always 
be some degree of care and anxiety. . . . 
There is nothing which has yet been con- 
trived by man, by which so much happiness 
is produced as by a good tavern or inn. 
Sam'l Johnson. Boswell's Life. March 
21, 1776. 

Whoe'er has travell'd life's dull round, 

Where'er his stages may have been, 
May sigh to think he still has found 
The warmest welcome at an inn. 
Shenstone. Written on a Window of an 
Inn. 
[The inn was at Henley. It is interesting 
to note that Johnson and Boswell slept on 
the night of March 21, 1776, at this inn.] 

He who has not been at a tavern knows 
not what a paradise it is. holy tavern ! 
O miraculous tavern ! — holy, because no 
carking cares are there, nor weariness, nor 
pain; and miraculous, because of the spits, 
which of themselves turn round and round ! 
Aretino. (Quoted by Longfellow in 
Hyperion.) Bk. iii. Ch. ii. 

Like pilgrims to the appointed place we 

tend; 
The world's an inn, and death the jour- 
ney's end. 
Dryden. Palamon and Arcite. Bk. iii.

[Palamon and Arcite is one of Dryden's 
modernized paraphrases from The Canterbury 



Tales. The corresponding lines in Chaucer 
are as follows : 



This world nys but a thurghfare ful of wo, 
And we been pilgrymes passynge to and fro. 
Death is an end of every worldly soore.] 



Our life is nothing but a winter's day : 
Some only break their fast, and so away : 
Others stay dinner and depart full-fed : 
The deepest age but sups and goes to bed : 
He's most in debt that lingers out the day : 
Who dies betimes has less and less to pay. 
Francis Quarles. Divine Fancies. 

For the world I count it not an inn, but 
an hospital, and a place not to live, but to 
die in. 

Sir Thomas Browne. 

He (Archbishop Leighton) used often to 
say that if he were to choose a place to die 
in, it should be an inn ; it looking like a 
pilgrim's going home, to whom this world 
was all as an Inn, and who was weary with 
the noise and confusion in it. . . . And he 
obtained what he desired, for he died at the 
Bell Inn in Warwick Lane. 

Gilbert Burnet. History of My Own 
Times. 

Born for a very brief space of time, we 
regard this life as an inn which we are soon 
to quit that it may be made ready for the 
coming guest.

Near yonder thorn, that lifts its head on

Where village statesmen talk'd with

And news much older than their ale

INNOCENCE. 

Poliienes. We were as twinn'd lambs 
that did frisk i' the sun, 
And bleat the one at the other ; what 

we chang'd 
Was innocence for innocence ; we knew 

not 
The doctrine of ill-doing, nor dream'd 
That any did.

INQUISITIVENESS. 

No state sorrier than that of the man 
who keeps up a continual round, and

bour's heart.

I hope I don't intrude.

iu his most intrusive moments. The same 
phrase, used under similar circumstances 
but without similar iteration, may be found 
in the anonymous comedy of The Maid of 
the Oaks, Act ii.] 

INSANITY. 

Quern deus vult perdere, prius de- 
men tat. 

Whom God will ruin He first deprives 
of his senses. 

Unknown. 

[This Latin line was found on the table of 
a gentleman of fashion, Sir D. 0.— his full 
name is not recorded— who committed sui- 
cide about the middle of the eighteenth 
century. He had scribbled the words on a 
scrap of paper, probably as an explanation 
of his action. Some years afterward Bos- 
well, who, like his friend, Dr. Johnson, had 
been anxious to trace the quotation to its 
source, was informed that a Mr. Pitts had 
found it among the fragments of Euripides. 
Mr. Pitts, presumably on hoaxing bent, 
sent Boswell what purported to be the orig- 
inal Greek, saying that he had taken it 
from Barnes' edition of Euripides : 

Whom God wishes to destroy he first 

phrenzies. 

No such line is to be found among the 
Fragments of Euripides. Pitts had evidently 
concocted the Greek out of the Latin. Yet, 
after all, the line was no doubt based on 
one of the Fragments, which runs thus : 

"Otolv &' 6 Sa.Cfj.iav avSpl nopcrvvri Kaxd

But when Divine Power plans evils for a 
man it first injures his mind. 
The Scholiast on Sophocles : Antigone. 620. 

This was, no doubt, what the suicide had 
in memory. The Latin version, or rather 
paraphrase, was his own, and so this poor 
suicide became the author of a quotation 
which was to prove one of the most famous 
in the world.]

[This has sometimes been held to be the 
origin of the phrase, "The Emerald Isle." 
But Dr. Dreunen himself, iu an introduc- 
tion to this poem (1815), expressly states 
that the epithet was first used in Erin, to 
Her Own Tune, a " party song written with- 
out the rancor of party in the year 1795."

Horace Smith in the Rejected Addrcssts 
(1812):

[The song is sometimes attributed to 
Charles Lever. Lady Morgan says she was 
familiar with it in 1828, but it was probably 
written earlier, when Lever was a mere 
boy. It is one of the many humorous street 
songs of the period which were never 
claimed and whose authorship it is now

of Erin, 
The dew on his thin robe was heavy 
and chill ; 

For his country he sigh'd, when at twi-

To wander alone by the wind-beaten 
hill.

ITALY. 



But the day-star attracted his eyes' sad

For it rose o'er his own native isle of

Where once in the fire of his youthful

He sang the bold anthem of Erin-go- 
bragh !

the turtle. 
Now melt into sorrow, now madden to 
crime ?

Thy right, and awe the robber's band

To shed thy blood, and drink the tears

Written upon thy forehead by despair. 
Ah, would that thou wert stronger or less

thee less.

On the 14th of Fehruary, 1741, Macklin 
established his fame as an actor in the

the pit that he, as it were involuntarily, 
exclaimed,— 

" This is the Jew 
That Shakespeare drew!" 

It has been said that this gentleman was 
Mr. Pope, and that he meant his panegyric 
on Macklin as a satire against Lord Lans- 
downe.

That gives an inch the importance of a

Uplifts the club of Hercules, for what? 
To crush a butterfly or brain a gnat ! 

Bids ocean labor with tremendous roar, 
To heave a cockle-shell upon the

Justice is lame as well as blind, amongst

That is, to hear a little, and speak 
much.

criminal justice to this great public con- 
test. I do not know the method of 
drawing up an indictment against a 
whole people. 

Burke. Speech on Conciliation with 
America. 

I tremble for my country when I re- 
flect that God is just ; that his justice 
cannot sleep forever ; that considering 
numbers, nature, and natural means 
only, a revolution of the wheel of for- 
tune, an exchange of situation, is among 
possible events; that it may become 
probable by supernatural interference ! 
The Almighty has no attribute which 
can take side with us in such a contest.

But now thy youngest, dearest one has 

perished, 
The nursling of thy widowhood, who

And fed with true love tears instead of 

dew, 
Most musical of mourners weep anew !

John Keats — who was killed off by one

Just as he really promised something 

great, 
If not intelligible without Greek, 
Contrived to talk about the gods of

Much as they might have been supposed 

to speak. 
Poor fellow I His was an untoward

Should let itself be snuffed out by an

KING'S FAVORITES. 

Wolsey. O Cromwell, Cromwell ! 
Had I but served my God with half the 

zeal 
I served my king, He would not in mine 

age 
Have left me naked to mine enemies. 
Shakespeare. Henry VIII. Act iii. 
Sc. 2. 1. 455. 

[According to Hume, who gives Caven- 
dish as his authority, Wolsey, a little before 
he expired, addressed the following words 
to Sir William Kingston, constable of the 
town, who had him in custody : " Had I but 
served God as diligently as I have served 
the king, He would not have given me 
over in my gray hairs. But this is the just 
reward that I must receive for my indul- 
gent pains and study, not regarding my 
service to God, but only to my prince."

VIII. 1530.]

King John. It is the curse of kings to

By slaves that take their humors for a 

warrant 
To break within the bloody house of 

life, 
And, on the winking of Authority, 
To understand a law ; to know the'mean* 

ing 
Of dangerous majesty, when, perchance, 

it frowns 

More upon humor than advised respect. 
Shakespeare. King John. Act iv. Sc.

Is that poor man that hangs on princes' 

favours !

(See under Fall.) 

Put not your trust in princes. 

Old Testament. Psalm cxlvi. 3. 

To be a kingdom's bulwark, a king's

KISS. 

The kisses of an enemy are deceitful.

of the penance imposed on him.] 

Queen. Wilt thou, pupil-like, 
Take thy correction mildly, kiss the rod, 
And fawn on rage with base humility. 

Shakespeare. Richard II. Act v. Sc.

Did some more sober critic come abroad ; 
If wrong, I smiled ; if right, I kiss'd the rod. 
Pope. 

Take, oh, take those lips away, 

That so sweetly were forsworn ; 
And those eyes, the break of day, 

Lights that do mislead the morn ; 
But my kisses bring again, 

bring again, 
Seals of love, but seal'd in vain, 

seal'd in vain. 
Shakespeare. Measure for Measure. Act 
iv. Sc. 1. 1. 1. 

[This song, with slight verbal alterations, 
appears in Beaumont and Fletcher's The 
Bloody Brother, Act v., Sc. 2. Probably it 
was a current song of anonymous author- 
ship and merely introduced into both plays. 
In The Bloody Brother the following addi- 
tional stanza is given : 



Hide, (), hide those hills of snow, 
Which thy frozen bosom bean, 

On whose tops the pinks that grow 

Are of those that April wears ! 
But tirst set my poor heart free 
Bound in those icy chains by thee.]

When age chills the blood, when our

I love the sex, and sometimes would 



The tyrant's wish, " That mankind only 

had 
One neck, which he with one fell stroke

My wish is quite as wide, but not so bad, 
And much more tender on the whole

It being (not now, but only while a lad) 
That womankind had but one rosy 

mouth, 
To kiss them all at once from north to 

south.

See the mountains kiss high heaven, 

And the waves clasp one another ; 
No sister flower would be forgiven 

If it disdained its brother ; 
And the sunlight clasps the earth, 

And the moonbeams kiss the sea ; 
What are all these kissings worth, 

If thou kiss not me ?

All the breath and the bloom of the year 

in the bag of one bee : 
All the wonder and wealth of the mine 

in the heart of one gem : 
In the core of one pearl all the shade 

and the shine of the sea : 
Breath and bloom, shade and shine, — 

wonder, wealth, and — how far above 

them — 

Truth, that's brighter than gem, 
Trust, that's purer than pearl — 
Brightest truth, purest trust in the uni- 
verse — all were for me 
In the kiss of one girl.

Men of Greece. Diogenes Laertius, in his 
ind Opinions of Celebrated Men, s. v.

thyself is his." And again, " When Thales 
was asked what was difficult, he said, 'To

KNOWLEDGE. 



Touchstone. The fool doth think that he is 
wise, but the wise man knows himself to 
be a fool. 

Shakespeare. As You Like It. Act v. 
Sc. 1. 1. 34. 

What is it to be wise ? 

'Tis but to know how little can be known ; 

To see all others' faults, and feel your own. 

Pope. Essay on Man. Epistle iv. 1. 260. 

Now learn too late 
How few sometimes may know, when thou- 
sands err. 
Milton. Paradise Lost. Bk. vi. 1. 148. 

This world, where much is to be done and 
little to be known. 

Samuel Johnson. Prayers and Medita- 
tions. Against Inquisitive and Per- 
plexing Thoughts. 

To be conscious that you are ignorant is a 
great step to knowledge. 

Disraeli. Sybil. Bk. i. Ch. v. 

To be ignorant of one's ignorance is the 
malady of the ignorant. 

A. Bronson Axcott. Table Talk. vi. 
Discourse. Conversation. 

All things I thought I knew ; but now con- 

The more I know I know, I know the less. 
Owen. Works. Bk. vi. 39. 

The more we study, we the more discover 
our ignorance. 

Shelley. Scenes from the Magico Pro- 
of Colder on. Sc. 1. 



The gretest clerkes ben not the wisest 
men. 

Chaucer. Canterbury Tales. The Reves 
Tale. 1.4051. 

Biron. Too much to know is to know 
naught but fame. 

Shakespeare. Love' s Labour' s Lost. Act 
i. Sc. 1. 1. 92. 

Knowledge is as food, and needs no less 
Her temp'rance over appetite, to know 
In measure what the mind may well con- 
tain; 
Oppresses else with surfeit, and soon turns 
Wisdom to folly. 

Milton. Paradise Lost. Bk. vii. 1. 126. 

So by false learning is good sense defac'd ; 
Some are bewilder'd in the maze of schools, 
And some made coxcombs Nature meant 
but fools. 
Pope. Essay on Criticism. Pt. i. 1. 25. 

Learning itself, received into a mind 
By nature weak, or viciously inclined, 
Serves but to lead philosophers astray, 
Where children would with ease discern 
the way. 

Cowper. Progress of Error. 1. 431. 



Knowledge and Wisdom, far from being 

one, 
Have ofttimes no connexion. Knowledge 

dwells 
In heads replete with thoughts of other 

men; 
Wisdom in minds attentive to their own. 
Knowledge, a rude unprofitable mass, 
The mere materials with which Wisdom 

builds, 
Till smooth'd and squared, and fitted to its 

place, 
Does but encumber whom it seems to en- 
rich. 
Knowledge is proud that he has learn'd so 

much; 
Wisdom is humble that he knows no more. 
Books are not seldom talismans and spells. 
Cowper. The Task. Bk. vi. 1. 88. 



Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers. 
Tennyson. Locksley Hall. 1. 141. 

Who are a little wise the best fools be. 
Donne. The Triple Fool. 

Nor will life's stream for observation 

stay, 
It hurries all too fast to mark their 

way: 
In vain sedate reflections we would 

make, 
When half our knowledge we must 

snatch, not take. 

Pope. Moral Essays. Epistle i. 1. 37. 

But knowledge to their eyes her ample 
page, 
Rich with the spoils of time, did ne'er 
unroll ; l 
Chill penury repress'd their noble rage, 
And froze the genial current of the 
soul.

Let knowledge grow from more to 
more. 

Tennyson. In Mcmoriam. Prologue. 1. 
25. 

O lift your natures up : 
Embrace our aims ; work out your free- 
dom. Girls, 
Knowledge is now no more a fountain 

sealed : 
Drink deep, until the habits of the slave ; 
The sins of emptiness, gossip and spite 
And slander, die. Better not be at all 
Than not be noble. 

Ibid. The Princess, ii. 1.88. 

The tree of knowledge in your garden 

grows, 
Not single, but at every humble door. 

O. W. Holmes. Wind Clouds and Star 
Drifts, viii. 1. 46. 

Knowledge and timber shouldn't be 
much used till they are seasoned. 
Ibid. Autocrat of the Breakfast-table, vi. 

Simple as it seems, it was a great dis- 
covery that the key of knowledge could 
turn both ways, that it could open, as 
well as lock, the door of power to the 
many. 

Lowell. Among My Books. New England 
Two Centuries Ago. 



LABOR. . 

In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat 
bread, till thou return unto the ground; 
for out of it wast thou taken. 

Old Testament. Genesis iii. 19. 

[Frequently misquoted " in the sweat of 
thy brow." The error may have been orig- 
inally a reminiscence of Milton's phrase, 
" Let us go forth and resolutely dare with 
sweat of brow to toil our little day." 

Tractate of Education.] 

Thou hast made them equal unto us, 
which have borne the burden and heat 
of the day. 

New Testament. Matthew xx. 12. 



To labour is the lot of man below ; 
And when Jove gave us life, he gave us 
woe.

Quae regio in terris nostri non plena 
laboris. 

What region of the earth is not full 
of our travails? 

Virgil. Mneid. i. 460. 

Labor omnia vicit 
Improbus, et duris urgens in rebus 
egestas. 
Stubborn labor conquers all things 
and [so does] want ever urgent in hard 
times.

Limse labor et mora. 

The labor and tediousness of polish- 
ing (any work of art, poetry, painting, 
etc.) as though with a file. 

Horace. Ars Poetica. 1. 291. 

Laborare est orare. 

To labor is to pray. 

[This is the ancient maxim of the Bene- 
dictine monks. It may be a misquotation 
from the Vulgate's " laborare et orare " in 
the text from Jeremiah (Lamentation", iii. 
41) which the authorized version translates, 
" Let us lift up our hearts with our hands 
unto God in the heavens." The Pseudo- 
Bernard, referring to Jeremiah, has " Qui 
orat et laborat, cor levat ad Deus cum 
manibus" ("Who prays and works lifts up 
to God his heart with his hands") (St. 
Bernard, Opera, Vol. ii. Col. 866, Paris, 
1690). "Orando laborando" (" Praying at 
work ") is the motto of Rugby School in 
England. ]

Up springs the lark,

Amid the dawning clouds, and from their 

haunts 
Calls up the tuneful nations.

will, _ 
Those quivering wings composed that 
music still !

Leave to the nightingale her shady

A privacy of glorious light is thine:

roam : 
True to the kindred points of Heaven 
and Home. 
Wordsworth. To a Skylark. St. 3.

could heartily wish that you may often 
be seen to smile, but never heard to 
laugh, while you live. Frequent and 
loud laughter is the characteristic of 
folly and ill manners : it is the manner 
in which the mob express their silly joy 
at silly things, and they call it being 
merry. In my mind there is nothing 
so illiberal and so ill-bred as audible 
laughter. 

Lord Chesterfield. Letters to His Son. 
Bath, March 9, 1748. 

The house of laughter makes a house 
of woe. 
Young. Night Thoughts. Night viii. 1. 757. 

The watch -dog's voice that bay'd the 

whispering wind, 
And the loud laugh that spoke the

These all in sweet confusion sought the

And fill'd each pause the nightingale 

had made. 
Goldsmith. The Deserted Village. 1. 120. 

Care to our coffin adds a nail, no doubt ; 
And every Grin, so merry, draws one out.

I struggle and struggle, and try to buffet

Besides, my prospects — don't you know

Poor and inadequate as man's.

The law is blind, and speaks in general

T. May. The Heir. Act iv. 

Solon used to say that speech was the

like cobwebs, — for that if any trifling or 
powerless thing fell into them, they held 
it fast; while if it were something 
weightier, it broke through them and 
was off.

laws were like cobwebs; where the small

Cicero. Orations. The Eleventh Philip-

all one as if they should make the 
standard for the measure we call a foot 
a chancellor's foot ; what an uncertain 
measure would this be ! One chancellor 
has a long foot, another a short foot, a 
third an indifferent foot. 'Tis the same 
in the Chancellor's conscience.

often been heard to say before he was judge 
that ' he would drive a coach and six horses 
through the Act of Settlement.' "]

LENDING. 

The borrower is servant to the lender. 
Old Testament. Proverbs xxii. 7. 

Si quis mutuum quid dederit, sit pro 

proprio perditum ; 
Cum repetas, inimicum amicum bene- 

ficio invenis tuo. 
Si mage exigere cupias, duarum rerum 

exoritur optio ; 
Vel illud, quod credideris perdas, vel 

ilium amicum amiseris. 
What you lend is lost ; when you ask 
for it back, you may find a friend made 
an enemy by your kindness. If you 
begin to press him further, you have the 
choice of two things — either to lose your 
loan or your friend. 

Plautus. Trinummus. Act iv. Sc. 3.

lend it not 
As to thy friends ; for when did friend-

But lend it rather to thine enemy ; 
Who, if he break, thou mayst with bet- 
ter face 
Exact the penalty.

Charles Sprague. Centennial Ode. St.

If the true spark of religious and civil 
liberty be kindled, it will burn. Human 
agency cannot extinguish it. Like the 
earth's central fire, it may be smothered 
for a time ; the ocean may overwhelm 
it ; mountains may press it down ; but 
its inherent and unconquerable force 
will heave both the ocean and the land, 
and at some time or other, in some place 
or other, the volcano will break out and 
flame up to heaven.

Prospero. Like one 
Who having unto truth by telling it 
Made such a sinner of his memory, 
To credit his own lie, — he did believe 
He was indeed the duke ; out of the sub-

And executing the outward face of 

royalty, 
With all prerogative. 

Shakespeare. The Tempest. Act i. Sc. 
2. 1. 102. 

[The words "Unto truth" have greatly 
puzzled the commentators. Suggested 
emendations are "To untruth," "Injured 
truth," "Unto truth by telling oft," the last 
with the implication that a line has been 
dropped. None of the suggestions is satis- 
factory. Bos well's gloss is as good as any : 
" The sentence is involved but not, I think, 
ungrammatical : 'Who having made his 
memory such a sinner to truth as to credit 
his own lie by telling of it.' " A curious co- 
incidence has been pointed out in Bacon's 
History of Henry VII. : 

It was generally believed that he was 
indeed Duke Richard. Nay, himself, with 
long and continual counterfeiting and with 
oft telling a lie, was turned by habit almost 
into the thing he seemed to be, and from a 
liar into a believer.]

is their strength labor and sorrow ; for 
it is soon cut off ami we tlv away.

But limns on water, or but writes in dust.

the happy.

hominis super terram" ("Man's life on 
earth is a warfare "), which is thus trans- 
lated in the authorized version : " Is there 
not an appointed time to man upon earth ?"), 
an alternative reading in the marginal 
notes being "a warfare."]

If I do lose thee, I do lose a thing

Hourly afflict.

Life's but a walking shadow, a poor

Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, 

Signifying nothing.

By an unfaltering trust, approach thy 

grave, 
Like one that wraps the drapery of his 

couch 
About him, and lies down to pleasant 

dreams.

So his life has flowed 
From its mysterious urn a sacred stream,

light, 
And takes no shadow from them.

And the sultriness showing the lion is

And the meal — the rich dates — yellowed

And the locust's- flesh steeped in the

LIGHT. 



Two strangers meeting at a festival ;

Two lives bound fast in one with golden

Two graves grass-green beside a gray

[Hence the phrase, "Lucus a non lu- 
cendo."] 

Hail, holy Light, offspring of Heaven 

first-born ; 
Or of the Eternal coeternal beam, 
May I express thee unblamed? since 

God is light, 
And never but in unapproached light 
Dwelt from eternity, dwelt but in thee, 
Bright effluence of bright essence in- 

create. 
Or hear'st thou rather, pure ethereal 

stream, 
Whose fountain who shall tell? Before 

the Sun, 
Before the Heavens thou wert, and at 

the voice 
Of God, as with a mantle, didst invest 
The rising world of waters dark and 

deep, 
Won from the void and formless infinite. 

Milton. Paradise Lost. Bk. iii. 1. 1. 






Dark with excessive bright thy skirts 
appear. 

Ibid. Paradise Lost. Bk. iii. 1. 380. 
[Frequently misquoted (and improved) by 
the substitution of "light "for "bright." 
Milton may have had in memory a passage 
in Longinus where, after quoting from 
Demosthenes, he asks, "In what has the 
orator here concealed the figure ? Plainly, 
in its own lustre."] 

Love in your heart as idly burns 
As fire in antique Boman urns.

[The story of a lamp which was supposed 
to have burned about fifteen hundred years 
in the sepulcher of Tullia, the daughter of 
Cicero, is told by Pancirollus and others : 
Our wasted oil unprofitably burns, 
Like hidden lamps in old sepulchral urns. 
Cowper. Conversation. 1. 357.] 

Who could have thought such Darkness 

lay concealed 
Within thy beams, O Sun ! or who could 

find, 
Whilst flow'r, and leaf, and insect stood 

revealed, 
That to such countless orbs thou mad'st 

us blind 1

Why do we then shun Death with anx- 
ious strife ? 

If Light can thus deceive, wherefore not 
Life ? 

J. Blanco White. Sonnet. Night. 

Light that makes things seen, makes some 
things invisible; were it not for darkness 
and the shadow of the earth the noblest 
part of the creation had remained unseen 
and the stars in heaven as invisible as on 
the fourth day when they were created 
above the horizon with the sun and there 
was not an eye to behold them. 

Sir Thomas Browne. Garden of Cyrus. 
Ch. iv. 

The rising sun to mortal sight reveales 
This earthly globe, but yet the stars con- 

ceales. 
So may the sense discover natural things 
Divine above the reach of humane wings. 
C. B. To the Memory of Sir Thomas Over- 
bury. Works of Sir T. Overbury. Ed. 
Rimbault. p. 7. 

Then sorrow, touch'd by thee, grows bright 

With more than rapture's ray ; 
As darkness shows us worlds of light 
We never saw by dav. 
Moore. Oh, Tlwu Who Dry' st the Mourner's 
Tear. 

The night has a thousand eyes, 

And the day but one ; 
Yet the light of the bright world dies 

With the dying sun. 
The mind has a thousand eyes, 

And the heart but one ; 
Yet the light of a whole life dies 

When love is done. 

F. W. Bourdillon. Light. 

The two noblest things, which are 
sweetness and light. 

Swift. Battle of the Books. 
[A correspondent of the London Times in 
1887 called attention to an analogous phrase 
in Philo-Judaeus. Speaking figuratively of 
the manna which fed the Israelites in the 
desert, he says : " What is the bread ? It is 
the word which the Lord ordained, and this 
% divine ordinance imparts both light and 
* sweetness to the soul which has eyes to 
see." 
Walsh. Curiosities of Literature, p. 1013.] 

The Greek word euphuia, a finely tem- 
pered nature, gives exactly the notion of 
perfection as culture brings us to conceive 
it; a harmonious perfection, a perfection in 
which the characters of beauty and intelli- 
gence are both present, which unites "the 
two noblest of things,"— as Swift, who of one 
of the two, at any rtite, hud himself all too 
little, most happily calls them in his Battle 
of the Books,— ■" the two noblest of things, 
sweetness and light." The euphues, I say, is 
the man who tends towards sweetness and 
light, the aphues, on the other hand, is our 
Philistine.

Shakespeare. King John. Act i. Sc. 1.

Lysander. Swift as a shadow, short as 
any dream ; 
Brief as the lightning in the collied

The jaws of darkness do devour it up : 
So quick bright things come to con- 
fusion. 
Ibid. Midsummer Night's Dream. Act i.

Juliet. Too unadvised, too sudden, 
Too like the lightning, which does cease to

Shakespeare. Midsummer Night's Dream.

Bottom. Let me play the lion too: I 
will roar, that I will do any man's heart 
good to hear me ; I will roar, that I will 
make the duke say. Let him roar again, 
Let him roar again. 

Quince. An you should do it too ter- 
ribly, you would fright the duchess and 
the ladies, that they would shriek ; and 
that were enough to hang us all. 



All. That would hang us every 
mother's son. 

Bottom. I grant you, friends, if that 
you should fright the ladies out of their 
wits, they would have no more discretion 
but to hang us ; but I will aggravate my 
voice so, that I will roar you as gently 
as any sucking dove : I will roar you an

out. 

Colonel Silius Titus. Speech on tlie Ex- 
clusion Bill. January 7, 1680. 

[His most famous speech was against the 
limitation which Charles ottered to impose 
upon a Catholic sovereign rattier than pass 
the bill for excluding his brother from the 
throne. Titus argued with great effect that 
when a sovereign was once upon the throne 
it would be practically impossible to main- 
tain these restrictions. "To accept of ex- 
pedients to secure the Protestant religion, 
after such a king had mounted the throne, 
would be as strange as if there were a lion 
in the lobby, and we should vote that we 
would rather secure ourselves by letting 
him in and chaining him than by keeping 
him out."

There is, first, the literature of knowl- 
edge, and, secondly, the literature of 
power. The function of the first is to 
teach, the function of the second is to 
move ; the first is a rudder, the second 
an oar or a sail. The first speaks to the 
mere discursive understanding, the 
second speaks ultimately, it may hap- 
pen, to the higher understanding or 
reason, but always through affections of 
pleasure and sympathy.

LOGIC— LONDON. 



Writing is not literature unless it 
gives to the reader a pleasure which 
arises not only from the things said, but 
from the way in which they are said ; 
and that pleasure is only given when 
the words are carefully or curiously or 
beautifully put together into sentences. 
Stopford Brooke. Primer of English 
Literature. 

Literature is the thought of thinking 
souls. 

Carlyle. Essays. Memoirs of the Life 
of Scotl. 

LOGIC. 

Post hoc, ergo propter hoc. 

After this, therefore on account of this. 

Fallacy in argument by which a mere 
precedence of circumstance is put forward 
as the cause of certain effects following. 
" He died immediately after eating his din- 
ner, therefore, post hoc, ergo propter hoc, the 
dinuer was the cause of death." This falsity 
is also referable to the head of non causa 
pro causa, a wrong cause for the true cause ; 
as when Whitfield attributed his being over- 
taken by a hailstorm to his not having 
preached at the last town. In arguing from 
cause to effect, two things are necessary : 
(1) The sufficiency of the cause ; (2) its estab- 
lishment: if either of these be unduly as- 
sumed, no conclusion can be proved as to 
the matter in hand. {See Whateley, Logic, 
p. 135.)

I see the lights of the village 

Gleam through the rain and the mist, 
And a feeling of sadness comes o'er me 

That my soul cannot resist; 
A feeling of sadness and longing, 

That is not akin to pain, 
And resembles sorrow only 

As the mist resembles the rain. 

Ibid. The Day Is Done. 

The thing we long for, that we are 
For one transcendent moment.

But when it came to know me well, 

And love me, it was sure to die !

Catullus. Carmina. v. 1. 

Love is life's end (an end, but never 
ending) ; 

All joyes, all sweetes, all happinesse, 
awarding ; 

Love is life's wealth (ne'er spent, but 
ever spending) ; 

More rich by giving, taking by discard- 
ing; 

Love's life's reward, rewarded in re- 
warding.

1. 176), and the same thought had been ex- 
pressed by Chapman : 

None ever loved, but at first sight they loved. 
The Blind Beggar oj Alexandria.] 

Rosalind. Nav, 't is true : there was never 
anything so sudden, but the fight of two 
rams, and Caesar's thrasonical brag of— " I 
came, saw, and overcame:" For your 
brother and my sister no sooner met, but 
they looked; no sooner looked, but they 
loved; no sooner loved, but they sighed; 
no sooner sighed, but they asked one 
another the reason; no sooner knew the 
reason, but they sought the remedy: and 
in these degrees have they made a pair of 
stairs to marriage, which they will climb 
incontinent, or else be incontinent before 
marriage: they are in the very wrath of 
love, and they will together; clubs cannot 
part them. 

Shakespeare. As You Like It. Act v. 
Sc. 2. 1. 33.

Let those love now who never loved 

before, 
Let those who always loved, now love 
the more. 
Unknown. Vigil of Venus. (T. Parnell, 

trans.) 
[The Pervigilium Veneris was written in 
the time of Julius Ca-sar, and is sometimes 
attributed to Catullus. Literally translated, 
the lines run : " Let him love to-morrow 
who never loved before: and he who has 
loved, let him love tomorrow."] 

Come live with me and be my love, 
And we will all the pleasures prove 
That hills and vallies, dales and fields, 
Woods or steepy mountains yields. 

Chris. Marlowe. The Passionate Shep- 
herd to His Ixme. 
[This has been at various times ascribed 
to Shakespeare. It is inserted in the Com- 
plete Angler, by Izaak Walton, as "that 
smooth Song, which was made by Kit Mar- 
lowe, now at least fifty years ago. ] 

Such is the power of that sweet passion, 
That it all sordid baseness doth expel, 
And the refined mind doth newly fashion 
Unto a fairer form, which now doth 

dwell 
In his high thought, that would itself 

excel ; 
Which he, beholding still with constant 

sight, 
Admires the mirror of so heavenly light. 
Spenser. Hymn in Honor of Love. 

When beauty fires the blood, how love 
exalts the mind ! 

Dryden. Cymon and Iphigenia. 1. 41. 

Love taught him shame; and shame, with 

love at strife, 
Soon taught the sweet civilities of life. 

Ibid. 1.133. 

Why should we kill the best of passions, 

love? 
It aids the hero, bids ambition rise 
To nobler heights, inspires immortal deeds, 
Even softens brutes, and adds a grace to 

virtue. 
Thomson. Sophonisba. Act v. Sc. 2. 

Devotion wafts the mind above, 
But heaven itself descends in love ; 
A feeling from the Godhead caught, 
To wean from self each sordid thought; 
A ray of Him who form'd the whole ; 
A glory circling round the soul ! 

Byron. Giaour. 1. 1160. 

Love betters what is best 
Even here below, but more in heaven above.

I tell thee Love is Nature's second sun, 
Causing a spring of virtues where he 
shines. 
George Chapman. All Fools. Act i. Sc. 
1. 1. 98. 

Love is a spiritual coupling of two souls, 
So much more excellent, as it least 

relates 
Unto the body; circular, eternal, 
Not feign'd, or made, but born: and 

then so precious, 
As nought can value it but itself; so 

free 
As nothing can commend it but itself ; 
And in itself so sound and liberal, 
As where it favours it bestows itself. 
, Ben Jonson. The New Jnn. Act iii. Sc. 2. 



Love is all in fire, and yet is ever freez- 
Love is much in winning, yet is more in 

leesing : 
Love is ever sick, and yet is never dying ; 
Love is ever true, and yet is ever lying ; 
Love does doat in liking, and is mad in 

loathing ; 
Love indeed is anything, yet indeed is 

nothing. 
Thomas Middleton. Blurt, Master Con- 
stable. Act ii. Sc. 2. 

If all the world and love were young, 
And truth in every shepherd's tongue,

Whatever stirs this mortal frame,

Coleridge. Love. 

True love's the gift which God has 

given 
To man alone beneath the heaven : 
It is not fantasy's hot fire, 

Whose wishes, soon as granted, fly ; 
It liveth not in fierce desire, 

With dead desire it doth not die; 
It is the secret sympathy, 
The silver link, the silken tie, 
Which heart to heart, and mind to 

mind, 
In body and in soul can bind. 

Sir W. Scott. The Lay of the Last Min- 
strel. Canto v. St. 13. 

In peace, Love tunes the shepherd's 

reed ; 
In war, he mounts the warrior's steed ; 
In halls, in gay attire is seen ; 
In hamlets, dances on the green ; 
Love rules the court, the camp, the 

grove, 
And men below, and saints above ; 
For love is heaven and heaven is love. 

Lbid. Lay of the Last Minstrel. Canto 
iii. St. 2. 



" Love rules the camp, the court, the grove ; 

for love 
Is heaven, and heaven is love " : so sings the 

bard ; 
Which it were rather difficult to prove, 
(A thing with poetry in general hard). 
Perhaps there may be something in " the 

grove," 
At least it rhymes to " love " : but I'm pre- 

§ared,

rental) 
If "courts and camps" be quite so senti- 
mental. 
Byron. Don Juan. Canto xii. St. 13. 

She was a form of life and light 
That seen, became a part of sight, 
And rose, where'er I turn'd mine eye,

Xes, love indeed is light from heaven ; 

A spark of that immortal fire 
With angels shared, by Alia given, 

To lift from earth our low desire. 

Ibid. Giaour. 1. 1127. 

The might of one fair face sublimes my love, 
That it hath weaned my soul from low

Great are the sea and the heaven ; 

Yet greater is my heart,

My heart, and the sea, and the heaven 

Are melting away with love !

Two Unman loves make one divine. 
E. B. Browning. Isobel's Child. St. 16. 

Rafael made a century of sonnets, 
Made and wrote them in a certain 

volume. 
Dinted with the silver-pointed pencil 
Else he only used to draw Madonnas: 
These, the world might view— but one, 

the volume. 
Who that one, you ask? Your heart 

instructs you. 
Robert Browning. One Word More. ii. 

No artist lives and loves that longs not 
Once, and only once, and for one only, 
(Ah, the prize!) to find his love a 

language 
Fit and fair and simple and sufficient — 
Using nature that's an art to others, 
Not, this one time, art that's turned his 

nature. 
Ay, of all the artists living, loving, 
None but would forego his proper 

dowry, — 
Does he paint? he fain would write a 

poem, — 
Does he write ? he fain would paint a 

picture, 
Put to proof art alien to the artist's, 
Once, and only once, and for One 

only, 
So to be the man and leave the artist, 
Save the man's joy, miss the artist's 

sorrow. 

Ibid. One Word More. viii. 

And he that shuts Love out, in turn

Shut out from Love, and on her thresh-

Moulded by God, and temper'd with the

Lowell. My Love. St. 1. 

True love is but a humble, low born

Spite of all my grief revealing, 
That I love thee, — that I dearly love 
thee still.

Rosalind. Love is merely a madness ;

Of love's sweet influence, misjudges 

him 
Who moves according to love's melody ;

Ejaculations and impatiences, 
Are necessary changes of a measure

Oh, ever beauteous, ever friendly ! tell 
Is it, in heaven, a crime to love too well ?

For those who greatly think, or bravely

Where -hall the lover rest, 
Whom the Fates -ever 

From his true maiden's breast, 

Parted for ever? 
Where, through groves deep and high, 

Sounds the far billow, 
Where early violets die, 

Under the willow. 

Scott. Marmion. Canto iii. St. 10. 

Love in a hut, with water and a trust, 
Is — Love forgive us !— cinders, ashes,

Love in a palace is perhaps at last 
More grievous torment than a hermit's 

fast.

Love is maintained by wealth ; when all is 

spent 
Adversity then breeds the discontent. 

Herrick. Hesperuies. 144. 

Your love in a cottage is hungry ; 

Your vine is a nest for flies ; 
Your milkmaid shocks the graces, 

And simplicity talks of pies ! 

True love is at home on a carpet 

And mightily likes his ease ; 
And true love has an eye for a dinner, 

And starves beneath shady trees. 

X. P. Willis. Love in a Cottage. 

With more capacity for love, than earth 
Bestows on most of mortal mould and 

birth, 
His early dreams of good out-stripp'd

And troubled manhood follow'd baffled 



youth. 



Byron. Lara. Canto i. St. 18. 



LOVE (Its Pains). 

True he it said whatever man it said 
That love with gall and honey doth

But if the one be with the other weighed, 
For every dram of honey therein 

found 
A pound of gall doth over it redound. 
Spenser. Faerie Queene. Bk. iv. Canto 
x. 1. 1. 



Love is the mind's strong phvsic, and 

the pill 
That leaves the heart sick and o'erturns

Middleton. Blurt Master Constable. Act

Shall I wasting in despair 

Die because a woman's fair? 
Or make pale my cheeks with care 

'Cause another's rosy are ? 
Be she fairer than the day, 

Or the flow'ry meads in May, 
If she be not fair to me, 

What care I how fair she be ? 

( i. Wither. The Shepherd's Resolution. 
[Often attributed to Sir W. Raleigh.] 

Why so pale and wan, fond lover,

Prithee, why so pale ?

Valentine. Ay, Proteus, but that life is 

altered now ; 
I have done penance for contemning 

love ; 
Whose high imperious thoughts have 

punish'd me 
With bitter fasts, with penitential 

groans, 
With nightly tears, and daily heart-sore 

sighs ; 
For, in revenge of my contempt of love, 
Love hath chas'd sleep from my en- 
thralled eyes, 
And made them watchers of mine own 

heart's sorrows. 
O, gentle Proteus, love's a mighty 

lord; 
And hath so humbled me, as, I confess, 
There is no woe to his correction, 
Nor to his service no such joy on earth ! 
Now, no discourse, except it be of love ; 
Now can I break my fast, dine, sup, and 

sleep, 
Upon the very naked name of love.

LOVE. 



Angels listen when she speaks : 

She's iny delight, all mankind's wonder; 
But my jealous heart would break 

Should we live one day asunder. 

Earl of Rochester. Song. 

Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips 

and cheeks

come; 
Love alters not with his brief hours and 

weeks, 
But bears it out even to the edge of 

doom.

So dear I love him, that with him all 

deaths 
I could endure, without him live no

It soweth here with toil and care, 
But the harvest-time of love is there. 
Ibid. The Curse of Kehama. Canto x.

Mightier far 
Than strength of nerve or sinew, or the

Of magic potent over sun and star, 
Is Love, though oft to agony distrest, 
And though his favorite seat be feeble 
woman's breast. 

Wordsworth. Laodamia. St. 15. 



No, the heart that has truly loved never

While altars blaze, and angels tremble

LOVE (Man's and Woman's 
Contrasted). 

Trust not a man ; we are by nature false, 
Dissembling, subtle, cruel and uncon-

trust him ; 
But if he swears, he'll certainly deceive 

thee. 
Otway. The Orphan. Act ii. Sc. 1. 

Duke. Let still the woman take 
An elder than herself, so wears she to 

him, 
So sways she level in her husband's

Our fancies are more giddy and unfirm, 
More longing, wavering, sooner lost and 

won 
Than women's are. 

Then let thy love be younger than thy- 
self, 
Or thy affection cannot hold the bent. 
Shakespeare. Twelfth Night. Act ii.

Strength, comeliness of shape, or amplest

But what it is, hard is to say, 

Harder to hit. 

Milton. Samson Agonistes. 1. 1010. 

Die Liebe vermindert die weibliche

Love lessens woman's delicacy and 
increases man's. 

Jean Paul Richter. Titan. Zykel 34. 

Man's love is of man's life a thing apart, 
'Tis woman's whole existence: man 

may range 
The court, camp, church, the vessel, and 

the mart, 
Sword, gown, gain, glory, offer in ex- 
change 
Pride, fame, ambition, to fill ud his 

heart, 
And few there are whom these cannoi 

estrange ; 
Men have all these resources, we but 

one, — 
To love again, and be again undone.

Lyttleton. Advice to a Lady. 

Men, some to bus'ness, some to pleasure 

take; 
But ev'ry woman is at heart a rake: 
Men, Borne to quiet, sonic to public strife, 
But every lady would be queen lor life. 

Port. Moral Essays. Epistle ii. To a 
Lady. 1.215. 

To a man, the disappointment of love may 
occasion some bitter pangs : it wounds some 
feelings of tenderness— it blasts some pros- 
pect- of felicity ; but he is an active being; 
he may dissipate his thoughts in the whirl 
of varied occupation, or may plunge into 
the tide of pleasure ; or, if the scene of dis- 
appointment be too full of painful associa- 
tions, he can shift his abode at will, and 
taking, as it were, the wiugs of the morn- 
ing, can "fly to the uttermost parts of the 
earth, and be at rest." 

But woman's is comparatively a fixed, a 
secluded, and a meditative life. She is more 
the companion of her own thoughts and 
feelings ; and if they are turned to ministers 
of sorrow, where shall she look for consola- 
tion ? Her lot is to be wooed and won ; and 
if unhappy in her love, her heart is like 
some fortress that has been captured, and 
sacked, and abandoned, and left desolate. 
Washington Irving. Tlie Sketch-book.

Love that of every woman's heart 
Will have the whole, and not a part, 
That is, to her, in Nature's plan, 
More than ambition is to man, 
Her light, her life, her very breath, 
With no alternative but death.

To them bat mockeries of the past alone, 
And their revenge is as the tiger's 

spring, 
Deadly, and quick, and crushing; yet,

Wolsey. Though all the world should

And throw it from their soul ; though 

perils did 
Abound, as thick as thought could make

Should the approach of this wild river

And stand unshaken yours.

We too are friends to loyalty. We love 
The king who loves the law, respects his

We trust him not too far.

LUXURY. 

Love comforteth, like sunshine after 

rain, 
But lust's effect is tempest after sun ; 
Love's gentle spring doth always fresh

Lust's winter comes ere summer half be

Love surfeits not ; lust like a glutton 

dies ; 
Love is all truth ; lust full of forged 
lies.

Truth, wisdom, sanctitude severe and 

pure

Whence true authority in men ; though 

both 
Not equal, as their sex not equal, seemed ; 
For contemplation he and valor formed, 
For softness she and sweet attractive 

grace ; 
He for God only, she for God in him. 
His fair large front and eye sublime 

declared 
Absolute rule; and hyacinthine locks 
Round from his parted forelock manly 

hung 
Clustering, but not beneath his shoulders

MAN. 



She, as a veil, down to the slender waist 

Her unadorned golden tresses wore 

Dishevelled, but in wanton ringlets 
waved 

As the vine curls her tendrils, which 
implied 

Subjection, but required with gentle 
sway, 

And by her yielded, by hirn best re- 
ceived, 

Yielded with coy submission, modest 
pride, 

And sweet reluctant amorous delay. 
Milton. Paradise Lost. Bk. iv. 1. 288. 

Adam, the goodliest man of men, since 

born, 
His sons, the fairest of her daughters 

Eve. 
Ibid. Paradise Lost. Bk. iv. 1. 323. 

Man is but man ; unconstant still, and 

various ; 
There's no to-morrow in him, like to-day. 
Dryden. Cleomenes. Act iii. Sc. 1. 

Man is but a reed, the weakest in 
nature, but he is a thinking reed. 
Blaise Pascal. Thoughts. Ch. ii. 10. 

Let us (since life can little more supply 
Than just to look about us and to die) 
Expatiate free o'er all this scene of Man ;

I thought that I would find plenty of com-

Pascal. Thoughts. Ch. x. 

Placed on this isthmus of a middle state, 
A being darkly wise and rudely great ; 



With too much knowledge for the scep- 
tic side, 

With too much weakness for the stoic's 
pride, 

He hangs between, in doubt to act or 
rest; 

In doubt to deem himself a god or beast ; 

In doubt his mind or body to prefer ; 

Born but to die and reasoning but to err. 
Pope. Essay on Man. Epistle ii. 1. 3. 

What hast thou, Man, that thou dar'st call 

thine own ? 
What is there in thee, Man, that can be 

known ? 
Dark fluxion, all unfixable by thought, 
A phantom dim of past and future wrought, 
Vain sister of the worm— life, death, soul, 

clod- 
Ignore thyself, and strive to know thy God ! 

Coleridge. E coelo descendit. yviidi 

o-eaviw. 

(See under Knowledge.) 

Chaos of thought and passion, all con- 
fused ; 

Still by himself abused, or disabused ; 

Created half to rise, and half to fall ; 

Great lord of all things, yet a prey to 
all ; 

Sole judge of truth, in endless error 
hurled ; 

The glory, jest, and riddle of the world.

What a chimera, then, is man! what a

what a subject of contradiction, what a 
prodigy! A judge of all things, feeble 
worm of the earth, depositary of the truth, 
cloaca of uncertainty and error, the glory 
and the shame of the universe. 

Pascal. Thoughts. Ch. x. 1. 

How beautiful is all this visible world ! 

How glorious in its action and itself! 

But we, who name ourselves its sovereigns, 
we, 

Half dust, half deity, alike unfit 

To sink or soar, with our mix'd essence 
make 

A conflict of its elements, and breathe 

The breath of degradation and of pride, 

Contending with low wants and lofty will, 

Till our mortality predominates, 

And men are— what they name not to them- 
selves, 

And trust not to each other. 

Byron. Manfred. Act i. Sc. 2. 1. 37.

The hunting tribes of earth and air, 
Eespect the brethren of their birth ; 
Nature, who loves the claim of kind, 
Less cruel chase to each assigned ; 
The falcon, poised on soaring wing, 
Watches the wild-duck by the spring, 
The slow hound wakes the fox's lair, 
The grey-hound presses on the hare ; 
The eagle pounces on the lamb, 
The wolf devours the fleecy dam ; 
Even tiger fell, and sullen bear, 
Their likeness and their lineage spare, 
Man, only, mars kind nature's plan, 
And turns the fierce pursuit on man.

MARLBOROUGH (JOHN 
CHURCHILL), DUKE OF. 

'Twas then great Marlborough's mighty 
soul was proved, 

That in the shock of charging hosts un- 
moved, 

Amidst confusion, horror and despair 

Examined all the dreadful scenes of 
war; 

In peaceful thought the field of death 
surveyed, 

To fainting squadrons lent the timely 
aid, 



Inspired repulsed battalions to engage, 
And taught the doubtful battle where 

to rage. 
So when an angel by divine command 
With rising tempests shakes a guilty 

land, — 
Such as of late o'er pale Brittannia 

past, — 
Calm and serene, he drives the furious 

blast ; 
And, pleased the Almighty's orders to 

perform, 
Bides in the whirlwind, and directs the 

storm. 

Addison. The Campaign. 1. 279. 

[The last line is sometimes credited to 
Pope, as he appropriated it for the Dunciad, 
applying it in a spirit of parody to John 
Rich, manager of the Theatre Royal, Covent 
Garden : 

Immortal Rich ! how calm he sits at ease, 
'Mid snows of paper, and fierce hail of 

And proud his mistress' orders to perform, 
Rides in the whirlwind, and directs the 
storm. 

Bk. iii. 1. 261.] 

The extraordinary effect which this simile 
produced when it first appeared, and which 
to the following generation seemed inex- 
plicable, is doubtless to be chiefly attributed 
to a line which most readers now regard as 
a feeble parenthesis : 

Such as of late, o'er pale Britannia passed. 

Addison spoke, not of a storm, but of the 
storm. The great tempest of November, 
1703, the only tempest which in our latitude 
has equalled the rage of a tropical hurricane 
had left a dreadful recollection in the minds 
of all men. . . . The popularity which 
the simile of the angel enjoyed among Addi- 
son's contemporaries has always seemed to 
us to be a remarkable instance of the ad- 
vantage which, in rhetoric and poetry, the 
particular has over the general. 

Macaulay. Essays. Addison. 



That simile was pronounced to be one of 
the greatest ever produced in poetry. That 
angel, that good angel, flew off with Mr. 
Addison and landed him in the place of 
Commissioner of Appeals — vice Mr. Locke 
providentially promoted In the following 
year Mr. Addison went to Hanover with 
Lord Halifax, and the year afterward was 
made Under Secretary of State. angel

The sum of all that makes a just man

And there, well to discharge it, does re- 
quire 

Equality of years, of birth, of fortune; 

For beauty being poor and not cried up 

By birtli or wealth, can truly mix with 
neither. 

And wealth, when there's such differ- 
ence in years, 

And fair descent, must make the yoke 
uneasy.

wherein a man can err but once.

Hail, wedded love! mysterious law, true 

s ve 

Of human of&pring, sole propriety 
In Paradise of all things common else. 
By thee adulterous lust was driven from 

men 
Among the bestial herds to range; by 

thee, 
Founded in reason, loyal, just and pure, 
Relations dear, and all the charities 
Of father, son, and brother, first were 

known. 
Milton. Paradise Lost. Bk. iv. 1. 750.

decoyed into our condition, every man 
and woman gazing and smiling at them. 
Pepys. Diary, December 25, 1665. 

Ev'n in the happiest choice, where fav'- 

ring heaven 
Has equal love and easy fortune giv'n, — 
Think not, the husband gain'd, that all 

is done ; 
The prize of happiness must still be 

won : 
And, oft, the careless find it to their 

cost, 
The lover in the husband may he lost ; 
The graces might alone his heart allure ; 
They and the virtues, meeting, must 

SCClll-!'.

MARRIAGE. 



In the married state, the world must 

own, 
Divided happiness was never known. 
To make it mutual, nature points the 

way: 
Let husbands govern: Gentle wives 
obey. 
Colley Cibber. The Provok'd Husband. 
Act v. Sc. I. 

Oh ! how many torments lie in the 
small circle of a wedding ring. 

Ibid. The Double Gallant. Act i. Sc. 2. 

Marriage is a desperate thing. 
John Selden. Table Talk. Marriage. 

The husband's sullen, dogged, shy, 
The wife grows flippant in reply ; 
He loves command and due restriction, 
And she as well likes contradiction. 
She never slavishly submits ; 
She'll have her will, or have her fits. 
He this way tugs, she t'other draws ; 
The man grows jealous, and with cause. 
Gay. Cupid, Hymen, and Plutus. 1. 17. 

The reason why so few marriages are 
happy is because young ladies spend 
their time in making nets, not in mak- 
ing cages. 

Swift. Thoughts on Various Subjects. 

Women who have been happy in a 
first marriage, are the most apt to ven- 
ture upon a second.

Are base respects of thrift, but not of love.

A gentleman who had been very unhappy 
in marriage married immediately after his 
wife died ; Johnson said it was the triumph 
of hope over experience.

Ah me ! when shall I marry me ? 
Lovers are plenty, but fail to relieve me. 
Goldsmith. A Soiig. 

Hence guilty joys, distastes, surmises, 
Hence false tears, deceits, disguises, 
Dangers, doubts, delays, surprises ; 

Fires that scorch, yet dare not shine : 
Purest love's unwasting treasure, 
Constant faith, fair hope, long leisure, 
Days of ease, and nights of pleasure ; 

Sacred Hymen ! these are thine. 
Pope. Chorus to the Tragedy of Brutus. 
Concluding lines. 

Domestic happiness, thou only bliss 
Of Paradise that has survived the fall ! 
Cowpee. The Task. Bk. iii. The Garden. 
1.41. 

There's a bliss beyond all that the min- 
strel has told, 

When two, that are linked in one 
heavenly tie, 
With heart never changing, and brow- 
never cold, 

Love on through all ills, and love o;i 
till they die. 

Mooee. Lalla Rookh. Light of the Harem. 
St. 42. 

But happy they, the happiest of their 

kind ! 
Whom gentler stars unite, and in one

Their Hearts, their Fortunes, and their 

Beings blend. 
Thomson. The Seasons. Spring. 1. 1111. 

Pure, as the charities above, 
Rise the sweet sympathies of love ; 
And closer chords than those of life 
Unite the husband to the wife. 

Logan. The Lovers. 

Marriage, from love, like vinegar from 

wine — 
A sad, sour, sober beverage —by time 
Is sharpened from its high celestial 

flavor 
Down to a very homely household 






savor.

Into that moral centaur, man and wife?' 

Now. I must say, once for all, that I will not

I desire the omission to be replaced."] 

Why ilo not words, and kiss, and solemn 

pledge, 
And nature that is kind in woman's 

breast, 
And reason that in man is wise and 

good, 
Ami fear of Him who is a righteous 

Judge, — 
Why do not these prevail for human 

life, 
To keep two hearts together, that began 
Their spring-time with one love.

[Pycroft, in his Ways and Means of Men of 
Letters, reports a conversation with a printer 
who said "We utterly ruined one poet 
through a ridiculous misprint. The poet 
intended to say : 

See the pale martyr in a sheet of fire, 
instead of which the line appeared as 

See the pale martyr in his shirt of fire. 
The reviewers, of course, made the most of 
so entertaining a blunder, and the poor 
poet was never heard of more in the field 
of literature." The story is obviously ab- 
surd. The line was not misprinted, it was 
never criticized, and the poet unfortunately 
was heard of again.] 

Every step of progress the world has 
made has been from scaffold to scaffold, 
and from stake to stake. It would 
hardly be exaggeration to say, that all 
the great truths relating to society and 
government have been first heard in the 
solemn protests of martyred patriotism, 
or the loud cries of crushed and starving 
labor.

which is nice; nor the lover's, which is 
all these ; but it is a melancholy of mine 
own, compounded of many simples, ex- 
tracted from many objects, and, indeed, 
the sundry contemplation of my travels, 
in which my often rumination wraps me 
in a most humorous sadness.

fore, I know not,) lost all my mirth, 
foregone all custom of exercises ; and, 
indeed, it goes so heavily with my dis- 
position, that this goodly frame, the 
earth, seems to me a sterile promontory ; 
this most excellent canopy, the air, look 
you, — tliis brave o'er-hanging firma-

golden lire, why, it appears no other 
thing to me, than a foul ami pestilent 
congregation of vapours.

Arthur. Methinks nobody should be 
sad but I. 
Yet, I remember, when I was in Fiance, 
Young gentlemen would be as sad as

Only for wantonness. By my Christen-

So I were out of prison, and kept sheep, 
I should be as merry as the day is long.

It wearies me ; you say it wearies you ; 
But how I caught it, found it, or came

What stuff 'tis made of, whereof it is 

born, 
I am to learn ; 
And such a want-wit sadness makes of 

me, 
That I have much ado to know myself.

Gleam through the rain and the mist,

That is not akin to pain, 
And resembles sorrow only 

As the mist resembles the rain.

Shenstone. Epitaph on Miss Dollman. 

Oft in the stilly night, 

Ere slumbers chain has bound me, 
Fond memory brings the light 
Of other days around me ;

Of boyhood's years, 
The words of love then spoken ; 
The eyes that shone 
Now dimmed and gone, 
The cheerful hearts now broken.

Though justice be thy plea, consider

When Bishop Berkeley said, "There 

was no matter," 
And proved it— 'twas no matter what

Too subtle for the airiest human head ; 
And yet who can believe it ? I would 

shatter 
Gladly all matters down to stone or 

lead, 
Or adamant, to find the world a spirit, 
And wear my head, denying that I wear 

it.

De la Ferte. To Anne of Austria. 

[De la Ferte's phrase has been attributed 
to Napoleon I., and may in fact have been 
quoted by him. Another Napoleonic phrase 
was, " Providence is always on the side of 
the last reserve."] 

Hast thou (a sacrilege his soul abhors) 
Claim'd all the glory of thy prosperous 

wars ? 
Proud of thy fleets and armies, stolen the 

gem 
Of his just praise to lavish it on them? 
Hast thou not learn'd, what thou art often 

told, 
A truth still sacred and believed of old, 
That no success attends on spears and 

swords 
Unblest, and that the battle is the Lord's ? 
Cowper. Expostulation. 1. 349. 

Put your trust in God, my boys, and 
keep your powder dry. 

Colonel Blacker. Oliver's Advice. 

There is a well-authenticated anecdote 
of Cromwell. On a certain occasion, when 
his troops were about crossing a river to at- 
tack the enemy, he concluded an address, 
couched in the usual fanatic terms in use 
among them, with these words : " Put your 
trust in God ; but mind to keep your powder 
dry!"

To make a third, she join'd the former two.

MIMICRY— MIND. 



Nor second he that rode sublime 
Upon the seraph wings of ecstasy. 
The secrets of the abyss to spy 
He passed the flaming bounds of place 

and time, 
The living throne, the sapphire blaze, 
Where angels tremble while they gaze, 
He saw; but blasted with excess of 

light, 
Closed his eyes in endless night. 
Gray. Progress of Poesy. iii.'St. 2. 1. 1. 

Dark with excessive bright thy skirts ap- 
pear. 
Milton. Paradise Lost. Bk. iii. 1. 380. 

Milton's strong pinion now not heaven 

can bound, 
Now serpent-like, in prose he sweeps 

the ground, 
In quibbles, angel and archangel join, 
And God the Father turns a school- 
divine. 
Pope. First Epistle of the Second Book of 
Horace Imitated. 1. 99. 

Milton, thou shouldst be living at this 

hour; 
England hath need of thee. 

Wordsworth. Milton. Sonnet. 
(See under England.) 

Thy soul was like a star; and dwelt 

apart ; 
Thou hadst a voice whose sound was 

like the sea ; 
Pure as the naked heavens, majestic, 

free, 
So didst thou travel on life's common 

way, 
In cheerful godliness ; and yet thy heart 
The lowliest duties on herself did lay. 
Ibid. Milton. 

That mighty orb of song, 
The divine Milton. 

Ibid.. Excursion. Bk. i. 

I am old and blind ! 
Men point at me as smitten by God's

ness. 

[This poem has sometimes been attributed 
to Milton himself. Miss Lloyd, a member 
of the Society of Friends of Philadelphia, 
afterward became the wife and widow of 
Mr. Robert Howell, of the same city.] 



MIMICRY. 

Agesilaus being invited once to hear a 
man who admirably imitated the night- 
ingale, he declined, saying he had heard 
the nightingale itself. 

Plutarch. Lives. Agesilaus II. 

The vulgar thus through imitation err ; 
As oft the learn'd by being singular ; 
So much they scorn the crowd, that if 

the throng 
By chance go right, they purposely go 

wrong ; 
So schismatics the plain believers quit, 
And are condemn'd for having too much 

wit. 

Imitation is the sincerest flattery. 
C. C. Colton (1780-1832). The Lacon. 



MIND. 

Mens agitat molem. 

Mind moves matter. 

Virgil. Mneid. vi. 727. 

It is the mind that makes the man, 
and our vigour is in our immortal soul. 
Ovid. Metamorphoses, xiii. 

Valentior omni fortuna animus est: 
in utramque partem ipse res suas ducit, 
beatseque miserse vitae sibi causa est. 

The mind is the master over every 
kind of fortune : itself acts in both ways, 
being the cause of its own happiness and 
misery. 

Seneca. Epistolse Ad Lucilium. xcviii. 

Mens regnnm bona possidet. 

A good mind possesses a kingdom. 
Ibid. 



My mind to me a kingdom is ; 

Such present joys therein I find, 
That it excels all "other bliss 
That earth affords or grows by kind : 
Though much I want which most would 

have, 
Yet still my mind forbids to crave.

Nothing is a misery,

Dans Padversite" de nos meilleurs amis 
nous trouvons toujours quelque chose 
qui ne nous d£plait pas. 

In the adversity of our best friends 
we often find something that is not dis- 
pleasing to us. 

Rochefoucauld. Reflections. Maxim 99. 

[This maxim was withdrawn in the third 
edition of the Reflections, probably on ac- 
count of the outcry it raised. Swift Quotes 
it as the epigraph to his Verses on His Own 
Death, and comments upon it at length : 

This maxim more than all the rest 

Is thought too base for human breast : 
" In all distresses of our friends 

We first consult our private ends ; 

While nature, kindly bent to ease us, 

Points out some circumstance to please 
us." 

He defends the sentiment on the ground 
that as good fortune is relative, its value is 
sentimentally enhanced by contrast with 
others' misfortunes. Chesterfield accepted 
the maxim as a truthful estimate of human 
depravity: "Those who know the decep- 
tion and wickedness of the human heart 
will not be either romantic or blind enough 
to deny what Rochefoucauld and Swift have 
affirmed as a general truth" (Letters, 129). 
Burke echoed the general idea : " I am con- 
vinced that we have a degree of delight, and 
that no small one, in the real misfortunes 
and pains of others" ( The Sublime and the 
Hrautiful. Pt. i. Sec. 14). Long before Roche- 
foucauld, Montaigne had said: "In the 
midst of compassion we feel within us I 
know not what bitter sweet point of pleas- 
ure in seeing others suflcr 1 ' (Essays. Of 
Profit and Honest;/). He quotes in corrobo- 
ration the first two lines of a famous passage 
in Lucretius :

MISTRUST. 



Buave mari magno, turbantibus acquora 

ventis, 
E terra magnum alterius spectare laborem 
Non quia vexari quemquam 'st jucunda 

voluptus 
Sed quibus ipse malis careus quia cornere 

suave 'st. 
How sweet to stand, when tempests tear the 

main, 
On the firm cliff and mark the seaman's 

toil! 
Not that another's danger soothes the soul, 
But from such toil how sweet to feel secure ! 
De Rerum Natura. ii. 1, 

Ben Jonson admits into Every Man Out of 
His Humour an old song which is probably 
a reminiscence of Lucretius : 
I wander not to seek for more : 
In greatest storm I sit on shore, 
And laugh at those that toil in vain 
To get what must be lost again. 

Is this to be believed or to be told ? 
Can then such inbred malice live in man, 
To joy in ill, and from another's woes, 
To draw his own delight? 

Terence. Andria. Act iv. Sc. 1. 1. 1. 
(George Colman, trans.) 

We have all strength enough to bear 
the misfortunes of others. 

Rochefoucauld. Maxim 19. 

Etiam quse sibi quisque timebat 

Unius in miseri exitium conversa tulere. 

What each man feared would happen to 

himself, did not trouble him when he saw 

that it would ruin another. 

Virgil. Mneid. ii. 130. 

I never knew any man in my life, who 
could not bear another's misfortunes per- 
fectly like a Christian. 

Pope. Thoughts on Various Subjects. 

I never knew a man who could not bear 
the misfortunes of another like a Christian.

To bear other people's afflictions, every

Benjamin Franklin. Poor Richard's 
Almanac. 

That is a true proverb which is wont 
to be commonly quoted, that " all had 
rather it were well for themselves than 
for another." 

Terence. Andria. Act ii. Sc. 5, 15.

Silvius. Wherever sorrow is, relief 
would be ;

By giving love, your sorrow and my 

grief,

Democracy. 

Were a man's sorrows and disquietudes

Not too much. 

[The phrase is best known in its Latin 
form, " Ne quid nimis." Diogenes Laertius, 
in his biography of Solon (I. 2, 16, 63), 
ascribes it to that philosopher-statesman. 
It is also attributed to Cleobolus. With the 
equally famous saying, "Know thyself"

(see under Knowledge), it was inscribed 
over the temple of Apollo at Delphi. It 
was numerously imitated by the Greeks 
and the Komans. Its earliest known ap- 
pearance in poetical literature is in The-

Be not too zealous ; moderation's best 
In all things. 

Theognis. Sententise. 335. 

The analogous phrase, "Mirpov apco-rov" 
(moderation is best, in Latin, "Optimus 
modus"), is attributed to Cleobolus by 
Diogenes Laertius (1, 6, 6, 93), and it is some- 
times asserted that these were the words 
inscribed on the temple of Apollo.] 

Id arbitror, Adprime in vita esse utile, ne 
quid nimis. 

I consider it to be a leading maxim in 
life, not to do anything to excess. 

Terence. Andria. Act i. Sc. 1. 1. 34. 

There is, said Michael, if thou well observe 
The rule of Not too much, by temperance 

taught, 
In what thou eat'st and drink'st, seeking 

from thence 
Due nourishment, not gluttonous delight, 
Till many years over thy head return : 
So mayest thou live, till like ripe fruit thou 

drop 
Into thy mother's lap, or be with ease 
Gathered, not harshly plucked, for death 

mature.

Plutarch, in his Life of Cleomenes (Ch. 
xxvii.), thus comments on the saying, " He 
who first called money the sinews of affairs 
seems to have said this with special refer- 
ence to war." Accordingly we find Libanius 
(Oration XL VI.) expressly defining money 
as ra vevpa roil na\tp.ov' ("the SineW8 Of 

war").] 

War is a matter not so much of arms as 
of expenditure, through which arms may 
be made of service.

[Literally, " A fortune— make a fortune : 
by honest means if you can ; if not, by any

If not, by any means get wealth and place.

Richard. Let's talk of graves, of

Write sorrow on the bosom of the earth. 
Let's choose executors and talk of wills : 
And yet not so, for what can we be- 
queath, 
Save our deposed bodies to the ground ? 
Our lands, our lives, and all are Boling- 

broke's, 
And nothing can we call our own but 

death, 
And that small model of the barren 

earth 
Which serves as paste and cover to our 

bones. 



For heaven's sake let us sit upon the 
ground, 

And tell sad stories of the death of 

kings : — 
How some have been depos'd, some slain 

in war; 
Some haunted by the ghosts they have 

depos'd ; 
Some poison'd by their wives, some 

sleeping kill'd; 
All murder'd.

And wither* d in my hand.

They were setting on

And so am I reveng'd ? That would be

A villain kills my father ; and, for that,

O, this is hire and salary, not revenge. 
He took my father grossly, full of bread ; 
With all his crimes broad blown, as flush

And, how his audit stands, who knows,

But, in our circumstance and course of

'Tis heavy with him. And am I then

When he is drunk, asleep, or in his

Or in the incestuous pleasure of his bed ; 
At gaming, swearing ; or about some act

Then trip him, that his heels may kick

If they but hear perchance a trumpet

You shall perceive them make a mutual

NAME. 



A velvet flute-note fell down pleasantly, 
Upon the bosom of that harmony, 
And sailed and sailed incessantly, 
As if a petal from a wild-rose blown 
Had fluttered down upon that pool of 

tone, 
And boatwise dropped o' the convex side 
And floated down the glassy tide 
And clarified and glorified 
The solemn spaces where the shadows 

bide. 
From the warm concave of that fluted 

note 
Somewhat, half song, half odor forth did 

"float 
As if a rose might somehow be a throat.

his last battle ; 
No sound can awake him to glory

That had nu need of a remoter charm,

Unborrowed from the eye. — That time

And all its aching joys are now no more, 
And all its dizzy raptures. 

Ibid. Lines on Tintern Abbey. 1. 76. 



I have learned 
To look on Nature, not as in the hour 
Of thoughtless youth, but hearing often- 
times 
The still, sad music of humanity, 
Nor harsh nor grating, though of ample 

power 
To chasten and subdue. And I have 

felt 
A presence that disturbs me with the 

j°y 

Of elevated thoughts ; a sense sublime 

Of something far more deeply inter- 
fused, 

Whose dwelling is the light of setting 
suns, 

And the round ocean, and the living 
air, 

And the blue sky, and in the mind of 
man; 

A motion and a spirit, that impels 

All thinking things, all objects of all 
thought, 

And rolls through all things. There- 
fore am I still 

A lover of the meadows and the woods, 

And mountains; and of all that we 
behold 

From this green earth ; of all the mighty 
world 

Of eye and ear, both what they half 
create, 

And what they perceive ; well pleased 
to recognize 

In nature and the language of the sense, 

The anchor of my purest thoughts, the 
nurse, 

The guide, the guardian of my heart, 
and soul 

Of all my moral being.

To him who in the love of Nature 
holds 
Communion with her visible forms, she 

speaks 
A various language ; for his gayer hours 
She has a voice of gladness, and a smile 
And eloquence of beauty, and she glides 
Into his darker musings, with a mild 
And healing sympathy that steals away 
Their sharpness ere he is aware.

The hills 
Rocked-ribbed and ancient as the sun, — 

the vales 
Stretching in pensive quietness between ; 
The venerable woods — rivers that move 
In majesty, and the complaining brooks 
That make the meadows green ; and, 

poured round all, 
Old Ocean's gray and melancholy 

waste, — 
Are but the solemn decorations all 
Of the great tomb of man.

Nature is a mutable cloud which is 
always and never the same. 
Emerson. Essays. First Series. History. 

By fate, not option, frugal Nature gave 
One scent to hyssop and to wall-flower, 
One sound to pine-groves and to water-falls, 
One aspect to the desert and the lake. 
It was her stern necessity ; all things 
Are of one pattern made ; bird, beast, and 

flower, 
Song, picture, form, space, thought, and 

character 
Deceive us, seeming to be many things, 
And are but one. 

Ibid. Xenophones. 

I thought the sparrow's note from 

heaven, 
Singing at dawn on the alder bough ; 
I brought him home, in his nest, at

For I did not bring home the river and 

sky; 
He sang to my ear, — they sang to my 

eye.

And all alone the sea-wind came singing 

up the Bay.

Why shouldst thou, but for some feloni-

In thy dark lantern thus close up the

With everlasting oil, to give due light 
To the misled and lonely traveller?

This glorious sight, when sleep hath shut

Night, sable goddess! from her ebon

In rayless majesty, now stretches forth 
Her leaden sceptre o'er a slumbering 

world. 
Silence, how dead ! and darkness, how 

profound ! 
Nor eye, nor list'ning ear, an object 

finds; 
Creation sleeps. 'Tis as the general 

pulse 
Of life stood still, and nature made a 

pause; 
An awful pause ! prophetic of her end.

Now black and deep the Night begins

One universal blot : such the fair power 
Of light, to kindle and create the whole.

NIGHTINGALE. 



531 



How beautiful this night I the balmiest 

sigh 
Which vernal zephyrs breathe in even- 
ing's ear 
Were discord to the speaking quietude 
That wraps this moveless scene. 

Heaven's ebon vault, 
Suicided with stars unutterably bright, 
Through which the moon's unclouded 

grandeur rolls, 
Seems likeacanopy which love has spread 
To curtain her sleeping world. 

Shelley. Queen Mab. Pt. iv. 1. 1. 

I low beautiful is night I 
A dewy freshness fills the silent air ; 
Nfo mist obscures, nor cloud, nor speck, 
nor stain 
Breaks the serene of heaven : 
In full-orbed glory yonder moon 

divine 
Rolls through the dark blue depths. 
Beneath her steady ray 
The desert circle spreads 
Like the round ocean, girdled with the 
sky. 
How beautiful is night ! 
Robert Socthey. Thalaba. Bk. i. St. 1. 

The stars are forth, the moon above the 

tups 

Of the snow-shining mountains — Beau- 
tiful ! 
I linger yet with Nature, for the night 
Hath been to me a more familiar face 
Than that of man ; and in her starry 

shade 
Of dim and solitary loveliness 
I learn'd the language of another world. 
Byron. Manfred. Act iii. Sc. 4. 

For the night 
Shows stars and women in a better light.

Stoop o'er me from above ; 
The calm, majestic presence of the Night, 

As of the one I love. 

Longfellow. Hymn to the Night. St. 2. 

The night is come, but not too soon ; 

And sinking silently, 
All silently, the little moon 

Drops down behind the sky. 

There is no light in earth or heaven 

But the cold light of stars ; 
And the first watch of night is given 

To the red planet Mars. 

Ibid. The Light of Stars. St. 1.

Lowell. The Courtin'. St. 1. 

The light white cloud swam over us. 
Anon 
We heard the lion roaring from his 
den; 
We saw the large white stars rise one by 
one, 
Or, from the darken' d glen, 
Saw God divide the night with flying 
flame, 
And thunder on the everlasting hills. 
I heard Him, for He spake, and grief 
became 
A solemn scorn of ills.

Where, all abandon'd to despair, she sings 
Her sorrows through the night; and on the

Sigh to her song, and with her wail resound.

Nothing can come from nothing. Apt and

Persius. Satires, iii. 83. (Gifford,

[Literally : 

Out of nothing nothing can come, and 
nothing can become nothing. 

Matter being considered eternal, the cre- 
ation of the world out of nothing, and its 
ultimate resolution into nothingness, was 
held by the school of Epicurus to be absurd. 

Nil igitur fieri de nilo posse putandum es, 

Semine quando opus est rebus.

Have heard her sigh and soften out the

Though the strain'd mast should quiver 

as a reed, 
And the rent canvas fluttering strew the

Stops with the shore ; — upon the watery

The wrecks are all thy deed, nor doth 

remain 
A shadow of man's ravage, save his 

own, 
When, for a moment, like a drop of

Made them a terror — 'twas a pleasing

"Charles Sumner. (May 31, 1872.) 
[It seems to have been a gradual evolu-

It is not fit the public trusts should be 
lodged in the hands of any till they are first 
proved, and found fit for the business they 
are to be intrusted with. 

Mathew Henry. Commentaries. Tim- 
othy Hi. 
To execute laws is a royal office ; to exe- 
cute ordeis is not to be a king. However, 
a political executive magistracy, though 
merely such, is a great trust.

When a man assumes a public trust, he 

should consider himself as public property. 

Thomas Jefferson, in a conversation with 

Baron Humboldt. (See Rayner. Life

Government is a trust, and the officers of 
the government are trustees ; and both the 
trust and the trustees are created for the 
benefit of the people. 

Henry Clay. Speech at AslUand, Ky.

The very essence of a free government 
consists in considering offices as public 
trusts, bestowed for the good of the country,

Horatio. In the most high and palmy 

state of Rome, 
A little ere the mightiest Julius fell, 
The graves stood tenantless, and the 

sheeted dead 
Did squeak and gibber in the Roman 

streets : 
As stars with trains of fire and dews of 

blood, 
Disasters in the sun ; and the moist star, 
Upon whose influence Neptune's empire 

stands, 
Was sick almost to dooms-day with 

eclipse.

Lamentings heard i' the air, strange 

screams of death, 
And prophesying, with accents terrible, 
Of dire combustion and confus'd events, 
New-hatch'd to the woful time. The 

obscure bird 
Clamour'd the livelong night ; some say, 

the earth 
Was feverous, and did shake.

top, 
And chattering pies in dismal discords 

sung.

Or some frail China jar receive a flaw ; 

Or stain her honour, or her new bro-

Or whether Heaven has doom'd that 
Shock must fall.

front but bald behind. The hair veiled the 
face from the unwary, but offered a hand- 
hold to him who promptly recognized the 
flying figure. In other words, Occasion 
must be gripped from the front at the criti-

A nature sloping to the southern side ; 
I thank her for it, though when clouds 

arise 
Such natures double-darken gloomy 

skies. 
Lowell. An Epistle to George William 
Curtis. Postscript. 1887. 1. 49. 

This one sits shivering in Fortune's 

smile, 
Taking his joy with bated, doubtful 

breath : 
This other, gnawed by hunger, all the 

while 
Laughs in the teeth of Death.

ORATOR.

.hi. As wlio should say, "I am 
Sir Oracle, 
And when 1 ope my lips let no dog 
hark!" 
Shakespeare. The Merchant of Venice. 
Ail i. Sc. 1. 1. 93. 

Tin' oracles are dumb, 
No voice or hideous hum 
Kuns through the arched roof in 
words deceiving. 
Apollo from his shrine 
Can no more divine 

With hollow shriek the steep of 
Delphos leaving. 
No nightly trance or breathed spell 
In- pins the pale-eyed priest from the 
prophetic cell. 

Milton. On the Morning of Christ's 
Nativity. 1. ITS. 

[Plutarch relates (Isis and Osiris) that a 
ship well laden with passengers drove with 
tiie tide near the Isles of Paxi, when a loud 
voice was heard by most of the passengers 
calling unto one Thanus. The voice then 
said aloud to him, " When you are arrived 
at Palodes, take care to make it known that 
the great god I'an is dead." J

ORATOR. 

(See Eloquence; Argument.) 
Cedant arma togse, concedat laurea 
linguae. 

Let arms give place to the robe, and 
the laurel of the warrior yield to the 
tongue of the orator. 

Cicero. Be Offi-ciis. 

[So the line is usually quoted, though 
Cicero wrote laudi, not linguse.] 

When Demosthenes was asked what 
was the first part of Oratory, he an- 
swered, " Action " ; and which was the 
second, he replied, "Action"; and 
which was the third, he still answered 
"Action." 

Plutarch. Morals. Lives of the Ten 
Orators. 
(See under Action.) 

I asked of my dear friend Orator Prig : 
"What's the first part of oratory ?" He said, 

" A great wig." 
" And what is the second?" Then, dancing 

a jig 
Ami bowing profoundly, he said, " A great 

wig." 



" And what is the third?" Then he snored 

like a pig, 
And puffing his cheeks out, he replied, " A 

great wig." 

George Colman the Younger. Orator

ORDER - ORTHODOXY. 



Adepts in the speaking trade 
Keep a cough by them ready made. 
Churchill. The Ghost. Bk. ii. 1. 545. 

Proud of his "Hear hims," proud, too, 

of his vote 
And lost virginity of oratory, 
Proud of his learning (just enough to 

quote). 
He revelled in his Ciceronian glory : 
With memory excellent to get by rote, 
With wit to hatch a pun or tell a story, 
Graced with some merit, and with more 

effrontery, 
" His country's pride," he came down to 

the country. 
Byron. Don Juan. Canto xiii. St. 91. 

You'd scarce expect one of my age 
To speak in public on the stage ; 
And if I chance to fall below 
Demosthenes or Cicero, 
Don't view me with a critic's eye 
But pass my imperfections by. 
Large streams from little fountains flow ; 
Tall oaks from little acorns grow.

Confusion heard his voice, and wild 
uproar 

Stood ruled, stood vast infinitude con- 
fined; 

Till at his second bidding darkness fled, 

Light shone, and order from disorder 
sprung. 
Milton. Paradise Lost. Bk. hi. 1. 710. 

Not chaos-like together crush'd and

But, as the world, harmoniously con-

Where order in variety we see, 

And where, tho' all things differ, all 
agree. 

Pope. Windsor Forest. 1. 13. 



Order is Heaven's first law; and this 
confest, 

Some are, and must be, greater than the

That such are happier, shocks all com-

Ulysses. Oh ! when degree is shak'd 
Which is the ladder to all high designs, 
The enterprise is sick. How could commu- 
nities, 
Degrees in schools, and brotherhoods in 

cities, 
Peaceful commerce from dividable shores, 
The primogenitive and due of birth, 
Prerogative of age, crowns, sceptres, laurels 
But by degree, stand in authentic place ? 
Take but degree away, untune that string, 
And, hark, what discord follows! each 

thing meets 
In mere oppugnancy. 

Ibid. Troilus and Oressida. Act i. Sc. 



Can any man have a higher notion of 
the rule of right and the eternal fitness

Henry Fielding. Tom Jones. Bk. iv.

shapen cock, was forced to write under- 
neath, in Gothic letters, " This is a cock."

As with a rural mound, the champain

Of a steep wilderness.

to bite 'em, 
And little fleas have lesser fleas, and so ad

again, 
So loving-jealous of his liberty. 

Ibid. Romeo and Juliet. Actii. Sc. 2. 1.

But in vain she did conjure him, 

To depart her presence so, 
Having a thousand tongues t' allure him

Persuade delay, — 
What boots to say 
Forego me now, come to me soon.

Childe Harold had a mother — not forgot, 
Though parting from that mother he did 

shun ; 
A sister whom he loved, but saw her not 
Before his weary pilgrimage begun : 
If friends he had, he hade adieu to none. 
Yet deem not thence his breast a breast 

of steel. 
Ye, who have known what 't is to dote 

upon 
A few dear objects, will in sadness feel 
Such partings break the heart they 

fondly hope to heal. 
Byron". Childe Harold. Canto i. St. 10. 

And there were sudden partings, such as 

press 
The life from out young hearts, and 

choking sighs 
Which ne'er might be repeated; who 

could guess 
If ever more should meet those mutual 

eyes, 
Since upon night so sweet such awful 

morn could rise ! 
Ibid. Childe Harold. Canto iii. St. 25. 

Let's not unman each other — part at 

once ; 
All farewells should be sudden, when 

forever, 
Else they make an eternity of moments 
And clog the last sands of life with tears. 
Ibid. Sardanapalus. Act v. Sc. 1. 

She went her unremembering way, 

She wont and left in me 
The pang of all the partings gone, 

And partings yet to be.

PASSION. 



In mid whirl of the dance of Time ye

The minstrels pause not in their min-

Here passion first I felt, 
Commotion strange, in all enjoyments

Superior and unmoved, here only weak

Or nature failed in me, and left some

Not proof enough such object to sustain, 
Or from my side subducting took perhaps 
More than enough ; at least on her be- 
stowed 
Too much of ornament, in outward show 
Elaborate, of inward less exact.

But were it to my fancy given 

To rate her charms, I'd call them heaven ; 

For though a mortal made of clay, 

Angels must love Ann Hathaway ; 

She hath a way so to control, 

To rapture the imprisoned soul, 

And sweetest heaven on earth display, 

That to be heaven Ann hath a way ; 

She hath a way. 

Ann Hathaway, — 
To be heaven's self Ann hath a way. 
Attributed to Shakespeare.. 

[Ann Hathaway was the maiden name of 
Shakespeare's wife. Some critics read a 
biting irony into this poem.]

Whose word no man relies on ; 
He never said a foolish thing, 
Nor ever did a wise one.

Here lies our mutton-eating king. 

The king made an apt and witty reply : 
" That is very true," he said, " for my words 
are my own, my actions are my ministers."]

PERSONAL. 



A fiery soul, which working out its way, 
Fretted the pigmy hody to decay, 
And o'er-infornied the tenement of clay. 
A daring pilot in extremity, 
Pleased with the danger when the waves 

ran high, 
He sought the storms. 

Dryden. Absalom and Achitophel. Pt. i.

So over-violent, or over-civil,

Spurred boldly on, and dashed through

Through sense and nonsense, never out 
nor in.

Statesman, yet friend to truth I of soul 
sincere, 

In action faithful, and in honour clear; 

Who broke no promise, served no pri-

Who gain'd no title, and who lost no

Ennobled by himself, by all approved, 

And praised, unenvied by the muse he 
loved. 
Pope. Epistle to Mr. Addison (concluding 
lines). 

Who now reads Cowley? if he pleases

Forgot his epic, nay Pindaric art,

Just writes to make his barrenness ap-

And strains, from hard-bound brains, 
eight lines a year ; 

He, who still wanting, though he lives 
on theft, 

Steals much, spends little, yet has noth- 
ing left ; 

And he, who now to sense, now non- 
sense leaning, 

Means not, but blunders round about a 
meaning: 

And he, whose fustian's so sublimely 
bad, 

It is not poetry, but prose run mad : 

All these my modest satire bade trans- 
late ; 

And own'd that nine such poets made a 
Tate. 

Pope. Prologue to the Satires. 1. 179. 

But all our praises why should lords 
engross ? 

Rise, honest muse I and sing the Man 
of Ross ; 

Pleased Vaga echoes through her wind- 
ing bounds, 

And rapid Severn hoarse applause re- 
sounds. 

Who hung with woods yon mountain's 
sultry brow? 

From the dry rock who bade the waters 
flow? 

Not to the skies in useless columns toss'd, 

Or in proud falls magnificently lost, 

But clear and artless, pouring through 
the plain 

Health to the sick, and solace to the 
swain. 

Whose causeway parts the vale with 
shady rows ? 

Whose seats the weary traveller repose ? 

Who taught that heaven-directed spire 
to rise? 

"The Man of Rossi" each lisping 
babe replies. 
Pope. Moral Essays. Epis. iii. 1. 249. 

Flavia's a wit, has too much sense to 

pray ; 
To toast our wants and wishes, is her 

way; 
Nor asks of God, but of her stars, to give 
The mighty blessing, " while we live, to 

live."

Then all for death, that opiate of the

A spark too fickle, or a spouse too

With too much spirit to be e'er at

Narcissa's ' nature, tolerably mild, 
To make a wash, would hardly stew a

Has even been proved to grant a lover's

( }ave alms at Easter in a Christian trim, 
And made a widow happy, for a whim. 
"Why, then, declare good-nature is her 

scorn, 
When 'tis by that alone she can be borne? 
Why pique all mortals, yet affect a 

name ? 
A fool to pleasure, yet a slave to fame : 
Now deep in Taylor and the Book of 

Martyrs, 
Now drinking citron with his Grace and 

Chartres ; 
Now conscience chills her, and now pas- 
sion burns: 
And atheism and religion take their 

turns; 
A very heathen in the carnal part, 
Yet still a sad, good Christian at her 

heart.

Philosophy 1 the great and only heir 
Of all the human knowledge which has 

been 
Unforfeited by man's rebellious sin. 
Cowley. To the Royal C 



Philosophy I the lumber of the schools, 
The roguery of alchemy : 
And we the bubbled fools 
Spend all our present stock in hopes of 
golden rules. 

Swift. Ode to Sir W. Temple, ii. 

This same philosophy is a good horse 
in the stable, but an arrant jade on a 
journey. 
Goldsmith. The Oood-Natured Man. Act i. 

So man, the moth, is not afraid, it seems, 
To span Omnipotence, and measure 

might 
That knows no measure, by the scanty 

rule 
And standard of his own, that is to-day, 
And is not ere to-morrow's sun go down. 
Cowper. TJie Task. Bk. vi. 1. 211. 

Why should not grave Philosophy be 

styled 
Herself a dreamer of a kindred stock, 
A dreamer, yet more spiritless and dull ? 
Wordsworth. The Excursion. Bk. iii. 

Hold thou the good ; define it well ; 

For fear divine Philosophy 

Should push beyond her mark, and be 
Procuress to the Lords of Hell.

In earthy mire philosophy may slip. 

Sir W. Scott. The Poacher. 

Do not all charms fly 
At the mere touch of cold philosophy ? 
Keats. Lamia, ii. 



Philosophy will clip an Angel's wings, 
Conquer all mysteries by rule and line, 
Empty the haunted air, the gnomld 

mine — 
Unweave a rainbow.

in thy looks ;

A begging prince what beggar pities not ?

King Richard. Tear-falling pity dwells 
not in this eve. 

Ibid. Richard III. Act iv. Sc. 2. 1. 66.

Find in "myself no pity to myself.

A heart to pity, and a hand to bless. 
Churchill, i'rophecy of Famine. 1. 178. 

The angel, Pity, shuns the walks of 
war! 

BBASKU8 Dakwin. 77m; Loves of the 
Plants. Canto, iii. 1. 298. 

So left alone, the passions of her mind, 
As winds from all the compass shift and 

blow, 
Made war upon each other for an hour, 
Till pity won. 

Tennyson. Godiva. 

And loving-kindness, that is pity's kin 
And is most pitiless. 

Swinburne. A Ballad of Life. 



PLAGIARISM. 

(See Quotation.) 

Quicquid bene dictum est ab ullo, 
meum est. 

Whatever has been well said by any 
one is my property. 

Seneca. Epistolse. xvi. 7. 

Je prends mon bien oil je le trouve. 

I take my property wherever I find it. 
Attributed to Moliere. 

[But Moliere really said reprends (recover), 
not prends itake); meaning that when any 
one stole from him he recaptured his own 
property.] 

In his immense quotation and allusion we 
quickly cease to discriminate between what 
he quotes and what he invents. 'Tis all 
Plutarch by right of eminent domain, and 
all property vests in the emperor. 

R. W. Emerson. Representative Men: 
Plutarch. 

It has come to be practically a sort of rule 
in literature, that a man, having once shown 
himself capable of original writing, is en- 
titled thenceforth to steal from the writings 
of others at discretion. Thought is the 
property of him who can entertain it, and 
of him who can adequately place it. 
Ibid. Representative Men: Shakespeare. 

When Shakespeare is charged with debts 
to his authors, Landor replies : " Yet he 
was more original than his originals. He 
breathed upon dead bodies and brought 
them into life." 

Ibid. Letters and Social Aims. Quotation 
and Originality. 

Nullum est jam dictum quod non dic- 
tum sit prius. 

Nothing is said nowadays that has not 
been said before. 

Terence. Eunuchus. Prologue, xli. 



[St. Jerome tells us, that his teacher, JEVms 
Donatus, commenting on thebe lines of 
Terence, was wont to say : 

Pereant qui ante nos nostra dixerent. 

Perish those who said our good things 
before we did. 

Commentary on Ecclesiastes. Ch. i. 

Piron's phrase is nearly akin : 

Leurs ecrits sont des vols qu'ils nous ont 
faits d'avance. 

Their writings are thoughts stolen from 
us by anticipation.] 



We can say nothing but what has been 
said. . . . Our poets steal from Homer. . . . 
Our storydressers do as much ; he that 
comes last is commonly best. 

Burton. Anatomy of Melancholy. Bern- 
ocritus to the Reader. 



Hos ego versiculos feci, tulit alter 
honores : 

Sic vos non vobis nidificatis aves : 
Sic vos non vobis vellera fertis oves : 
Sic vos non vobis mellificatis apes : 
Sic vos non vobis fertis aratra boves. 

I wrote these lines; another wears 
the bays : 
Thus you for others build your nests, O 

birds : 
Thus you for others bear your fleece, O 

sheep : 
Thus you for others honey make, O bees : 
Thus you for others drag the plough, O 
kine: 
Virgil. Claudius Donatus. Life of Virgil. 
(Delphin edition. 1830. p. 17.) 

[The story runs that a versifier named 
Bathyllus had stolen a distich of Virgil's, 
written in honor of Augustus. Virgil, in 
the presence of emperor and plagiarist, 
wrote these lines beneath the distich : 

Hos ego versiculos feci, tulit alter ho- 
nores : 

Sic vos non vobis— 

Sic vos non vobis— 

Sic vos non vobis— 

Sic vos non vobis— 

When Bathyllus confessed that he could 
not fill up the blank spaces, Virgil accom- 
plished the feat as above.] 

The seed ye sow another reaps ; 
The wealth ye find, another keeps ; 
The robe ye weave, another wears ; 
The arms ye forge another bears. 

Shelley, to the Men of England. 

In comparing various authors with

Some bitter o'er the flowers its bubbling

She dwells with Beauty— Beauty that must 
die; 
And Joy, whose hand is ever at his lips 
Bidding adieu; and aching Pleasure nigh, 
Turning to poison while the bee-mouth 
sips: 
Ay, in the very temple of Delight 

Veiled Melancholy has her sovran shrine, 
Though seen of none save him whose stren- 
uous tongue 
Can burst Joy's grape against his palate 
tine ; 
His soul shall taste the sadness of her might, 
And be among her cloudy trophies hung. 
Keats. Ode on Melancholy. 

There's not a string attuned to mirth, 
But has its chord in melancholy. 

Hood. Ode to Melancholy. 

We look before and after, 

And pine for what is not; 
Our sincerest laughter 
With some pain is fraught; 
Our sweetest songs are those that tell of 
saddest thought.

Call it not vain : — they do not err, 
Who say, that, when the poet dies, 
Mute Nature mourns her worshipper, 
And celebrates his obsequies ; 
Who say, tall cliff, and cavern lone, 
For the departed bard make moan ; 
That mountains weep in crystal rill ; 
That flowers in tears of balm distil ; 
Through his loved groves that breezes 

sigh, 
And oaks, in deeper groan, reply ; 
And rivers teach their rushing wave 
To murmur dirges round his grave.

Immortal in your verse, though life be fled,

Though ye are living, if neglect can kill, 

Tell me if in the darkest hours of ill, 
With drops of anguish falling fast and red 
From the sharp crown of thorns upon your

make with them, why, the more is for 
your honesty. 

Second Watch. If we know him to be 
a thief, shall we not lay hands on him? 



Dogberry. Truly, by your office, you 
may ; but I think they that touch pitch 
will be defiled : the most peaceable way 
for you, if you do take a thief, is, to let 
him shew himself what he is, and steal 
out of your company.

PRAISE. 



They praise, and they admire, they know 

not what, 
And know not whom, but as one leads the 

other, 
And what delight to be by such extoll'd, 
To live upon their tongues, and be their talk. 
Of whom to be dispraised were no small 

praise '?

It matters not how straight the gate, 
How charged with punishment the 
scroll : 
I am the master of my fate, 
I am the captain of my soul. 

Henly. The Unconquerable Soul.

Enmesh, and then impute my Fall to

PREPARATION. 

Semper paratus. 
Always prepared. 

Motto of Lord Clifford. 

Chorus. From camp to camp, through 
the foul womb of night, 
The hum of either army stilly sounds, 
That the fixed sentinels almost receive 
The secret whispers of each other's 

watch : 
Fire answers fire : and through their 

paly flames 
Each battle sees the other's umber" d face : 
Steed threatens steed, in high and boast- 
ful neighs 
Piercing the night's dull ear; and from 

the tents, 
The armourers accomplishing the 
knights, 



With busy hammers closing rivets up, 
Give dreadful note of preparation. 

Shakespeare. Henry V. Act iv. Pro- 
logue. 1. 4. 

[Colley Cibber incorporated this speech, 
with some verbal variations, into his stage 
version of Richard III. as part of the solilo-

to the battle of Bosworth (Act v. Sc. 5). 
Cibber's most notable alteration was in line 
14, which he improved thus : 
With clink of hammers closing rivets up.J 



PRIDE. 

Pride goeth before destruction, and a 
haughty spirit before a fall. 

Old Testament. Proverbs xvi. 18. 

The lowly hart doth win the love of all, 
But pride at last is sure of shameful fall. 
Turberville. To Piero of Pride. 

Pryde will have a fall ; 
For pryde goeth before and shame commeth 
after. 
J. Heywood. Proverbs. Bk. i. Ch. x. 

Pride goeth forth on horseback grand and 

gay. 

But cometh back on foot, and begs its way.

This many summers in a sea of glory, 
But far beyond my depth : my high- 
blown pride 
At length broke under me. 

Ibid. Henry VIII. Act iii. Sc. 2. 1. 358. 

Agamemnon. He that is proud, eats 
up himself; Pride is his own glass, his

whatever praises itself but in the deed, 
devours the deed in the praise.

hate the engendering of toads.

Vanburgh. j£sop. Pt. i. Act. iv. Sc. 2. 

Pride (of all others the most dangerous

Will be much apter to despond than 

boast. 
Roscommon. Essay on Translated Verse.

Whatever Nature has in worth denied, 
She gives in large recruits of needful 

pride ; 
For as in bodies, thus in souls, we find, 
What wants in blood and spirits, swell'd 

with wind : 
Pride, where wit fails, steps in to our 

defence, 
And fills tip all the mighty void of sense. 

Ibid. Essay on Criticism. Pt. ii. 1. 5.

stars ; 
But Pleasure, lark-like, nests upon the

Provok'd my patience to complain,

Howe'er disguised in its own majesty,

The vile are only vain, the great are 
proud. 

Byron. Marino Faliero. Act ii. Sc. 1. 

He saw a cottage witli a double coach- 
house, 

A cottage of gentility ! 

And the devil did grin, for his darling 
sin 

Is pride that apes humilitv. 

Coleridge. Devil's Thoughts. 

He passed a cottage with a double coach- 
house, 
A cottage of gentility ; 
And he owned with a grin 
That his favorite sin 
Is pride that apes humility. 

Southey. The Devil's Walk. St. 8. 

How poor religious pride, 
In all the pomp of method, and of ait, 
When men display to congregations wide, 
Devotion's every grace except the heart ! 
Burns. The Cotter's Saturday Night. 

A pride there is of rank— a pride of birth, 
A pride of learning, and a pride of purse, 
A London pride 1 — in short, there be on earth 
A host of prides, some better and some 

worse ; 
But of all prides, since Lucifer's attaint, 
The proudest swells a self-elected saint.

Whose modest form, so delicately fine,

thou hast caused printing to be used,

that the wheels ran in ' ringing grooves ' 
instead of on the smooth rail, kept in their

who dipt into the future lar as human eye 
could see perceived the advent of a mighty

PROVERB. 

A proverb and a bvword. 

Old Testament. I. Kings ix. 7. 

The genius, wit, and spirit of a nation 
an- discovered in its proverbs. 

Bacon. Essays. 

I do not say a proverb is amiss when 
aptly and seasonably applied; but to be 
forever discharging them, right or 
wrong, hit or miss, renders conversation 
insipid and vulgar. 
Cervantes. Don Quixote. Pt. ii. Ch. xliii. 

Ronieo. For I am proverb'd with a 
grandsire phrase. 

Shakespeare. Romeo and Juliet. Act i.

Old Proverb. 

fThomas ;\ Kempis quotes the proverb in 
it- literal Latin form, Homo proponet sed 
Deus disponit, in Vie. Imitation of Christ, Bk. 
i.,('h. xix. But it is much earlier than a 
Kempis. Tt may be found quoted in its 
Latin form, with only the change from 
"but" to "and," in the Vision of Piers 
Ploughman, as follows : 



Homo proponet et Deus disponit. 
Aud governeth all good virtues. 

1. 13.9&4. 

The obvious original is in the Old Testa- 
ment: A man's heart deviseth his way: but 
the Lord directeth his steps. (Proverbs xvi. 
'.'.i Which in the Latin or Vulgate transla- 
tion ran: Cor hominis disponet viam Buam. 
sed Domini est dirigere gressus ejus. Cf.

Not as we wanted it, 
But as God granted it. 
Quiller Couch. Poems and Ballads:

Hamlet. There is a special providence 
in the fall of a sparrow. If it be now 
'tis not to come ; if it be not to come, it 
will be now ; if it be not now, yet it will 
come ; the readiness is all. 

Shakespeare.. Hamlet. Act v. Sc. 2. 
1. 230. 

Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? 
and one of them shall not fall on the ground 
without your Father.

PURITAN.

In odd perverse antipathies : 
In falling out with that or this, 
And finding somewhat still amiss : 



PURITY. 



603 



M iv peevish, cross, and splenetick, 
Than (log distract, or monkey sick: 
Tli at with more care keep holy-day 
The wrong, than others the right way : 
Compound for sins they are inclin'd to: 
By damning those they have no mind to: 
Still so perverse and opposite, 
As if they worshipp'd God for spite. 

Butler. Hudibras. Pt. i. Canto i. 

Round-heads and wooden-shoes are 
standing-jokes. 

Addison. Prologue to The Drummer. 

The Puritan hated bear-baiting, not 
because it gave pain to the bear, but 
because it gave pleasure to the spec- 
tator-. 

Macaulay. History of England. Vol. i. 
Ch. iii. 

Even bear-baiting was esteemed heathen- 
ish and unchristian : the sport of it, not the 
inhumanity, gave offence. 

Hume. History of England. Vol. i. Ch. 
lxii. 

The Puritan was not a man of specu- 
lation. He originated nothing. His 
principles are to be found broadcast in 
the centuries behind him. His specu- 
lations were all old. You might find 
them in the lectures of Abelard ; you 
meet with them in the radicalism of 
Wat Tyler ; you find them all over the 
continent of Europe. The distinction 
between his case and that of others was 
simply that he practised what he be- 
lieved. 

Wendell Phillips. Speeches, Lectures, 
and Letters : The Puritan Principle. 

The Puritan did not stop to think ; 
he recognized God in his soul, and acted. 
Ibid. Speech. Dee. 18, 1859. 

Puritanism meant something when 
Captain Hodgson, riding out to battle 
through the morning mist, turns over 
the command of his troop to a lieu- 
tenant, and stays to hear the prayer of a 
cornet, there was " so much of God in it."' 
Lowell. Among Mp Books : New Eng- 
land Two Centuries Ago. 

Puritanism, believing itself quick 
with the seed of religious liberty, laid, 
without knowing it, the egg of democ- 
racy.

St. Pail. Bpullt to Titus, i. 15.

PURSUIT AND POSSESSION— PYRAMIDS.

To doubt her pureness were to want a

How like the prodigal doth she return,

Lean, rent, and beggared by the strum-

Bliss in possession will not last ; 
Remembered joys are never past ; 
At once the fountain, stream, and sea, 
They were, thev are, they yet shall be. 
James Montgomery. The LitiU Cloud. 

When I behold what pleasure is Pursuit, 
■What life, what glorious eagerness it is, 
Then mark how full Possession falls from 
this, 
How fairer seems the blossom than the 

fruit — 
I am perplext, and often stricken mute, 



Wondering which attained the higher 

bliss. 
The winged insect, or the chrysalis 
It thrust aside with unreluctant foot. 
T. B. Aldrich. Pursuit and Possession. 

Friar. For it so falls out 
That what we have we prize not to the

show us 
Whiles it was ours.

QUIET. 



Pray, Goody, please to moderate the 

rancour of your tongue ! 
Why flash those sparks of fury from 

your eyes? 
Remember, when the judgment's weak 

the prejudice is strong. 

Kane O'Hara. Midas. Act i. Sc. 4. 

Let dogs delight to bark and bite, 
For God hath made them so ; 

Let bears and lions growl and fight, 
For 't is their nature, too. 1 
Isaac Watts. Divine Songs. Song 16. 

Candida pax homines, trux decet ira feras. 
Fair peace becomes men ; ferocious anger 
belongs to beasts. 

Ovid. Ars Amatoria. iii. 502. 

The Indian tiger bears no hate, 

But keeps truce with its savage mate : 

E'en fiercely-ranging bears agree 

To live in general amity : 

But man on anvils all abhorred, 

Is not afraid to forge the sword. 

Juvenal. Satires, xv. 163. 

But, children, you should never let 

Such angry passions rise ; 
Your little hands were never made 

To tear each other's eyes. 

Watts. Divine Songs. Song 16. 

Birds in their little nest agree ; 

And 't is a shameful sight 
When children of one family 

Fall out, and chide, and fight. 

Ibid. Divine Songs. Song 17. 

So when two dogs are fighting in the 

streets, 
When a third dog one of the two dogs 

meets : 
With angry teeth he bites him to the 

bone, 
And this dog smarts for what that dog 

has done. 
Henry Fielding. Tom Thumb the Great. 
Act i. Sc. 5. 1. 55. 

The quarrel is a very pretty quarrel 
as it stands ; we should only spoil it by 
trying to explain it. 

Sheridan. The Rivals. Act iv. Sc. 3. 

Thus when a barber and a collier fight, 
The barber beats the luckless collier — 

white ; 
The dusty collier heaves his ponderous 

sack, 
And, big with vengeance, beats the 

barber — black. 

» Persistently misquoted " to." 



In comes the brick-dust man, with grime 

o'erspread, 
And beats the collier and the barber — 

red; 
Black, red, and white, in various clouds 

. are toss'd, 
And in the dust they raise the com- 
batants are lost. 
Christopher Smart. A Trip to Cam- 
bridge. 

An association of men who will not 
quarrel with one another is a thing which 
never yet existed, from the greatest con- 
federacy of nations down to a town-

lor. 1798. 

And musing on the little lives of men,

And pluck' d the ripen'd ears, 
We fell out, my wife and I, 
O we fell out, I know not why, 
And kiss'd again with tears. 

Ibid. The Princess. Canto ii. Song. 

Unreconciled by life's fleet years, that 

fled 
With changeful clang of pinions wide 

and wild, 
Though two great spirits had lived, and 
hence had sped 
Unreconciled. 

Swinburne. A Century of Roundels. 
Discord. 

The first thing T remember whereon we 

disagreed 
Was something concerning heaven — 

a difference in our creed ; 
We arg"ed the thing at breakfast, we 

arg'ed the thing at tea, 
And the more we arg'ed the question, the 

more we didn't agree.

So was it when my life began;

And I could wish my days to be 
Bound each to each by natural piety.

I do not find that the age or country 
makes the least difference ; no, nor the 
language the actors spoke, nor the religion

Who steals my purse steals trash ; 'tis

Kobs me of that which not enriches him, 
And makes me poor indeed.

Strong without rage, without o'erflowing

Till thou our summons answered have 
Listen and save.

An<l split his currents ; that for many a

Orders and Sacraments, you may sing Alle-

Gospel and have and preach the faith in 
the name of the Father, the Son, and the 
Holy Ghost : but nowhere except in the 
Catholick Church can salvation be found.] 

Roma locuta est, causa finita est. 

Rome has spoken, the case is con- 
cluded. 

[Founded upon this passage from St. 
Augustine (Sermons, 131, 10) : 

Jam enim de hac causa duo concilia 
miBsa sunt ad sedem Apostolicam. Inde 
etiam rescripta venerunt : causa finita est ; 
utinam aliquando error finiatur! 

Already the results of two councils on 
this (Pelagian) question have been sent to 
the Apostolic Sec, and rescripts have been 
returned from thence. The case is fin- 
ished ; would that some time or other the 
heresy might come to an end as well.]

Macaulay. On Ranke's History of the 
Popes. Often referred to as Macaulay's 
New Zealander. 

[In his New Zealander, Macaulay gave its 
most brilliant and permanent form to an 
idea which had been already used by in- 
numerable authors, among others himself. 



His essay on Ranke appeared in the Edin- 
burgh Review for October, 1840. In a criticism 
of Mitford's Q-reece, contributed so early as 
1829 to Knight's Quarterly Magazine, he had 
said: 

When the sceptre shall have passed away 
from England; when, perhaps, travellers 
from distant regions shall in vain labor to 
decipher on some mouldering pedestal the 
name of our proudest chief; shall hear 
savage hymns chanted to some misshapen 
idol, over the ruined dome of our proudest 
temple ; and shall see a single naked fisher- 
man wash his nets in the river of the ten 
thousand masts ; her [Athens's] influence 
and her glory will still survive, fresh in 
eternal youth. (Concluding paragraph.) 

There may be here a reminiscence of the 
prophet Ezekiel : 

It (Tyre) shall be a place for the spreading 
of nets in the midst ol the sea. . . . Then all 
the princes of the sea shall come down from 
their thrones; . . . they shall sit upon the 
ground, and shall tremble at every moment, 
and be astonished at thee. And they shall 
take up a lamentation for thee, and say to 
thee, How art thou destroyed, that wast in- 
habited of seafaring men, the renowned 
city, which wast strong in the sea, she and 
her inhabitants? (xxvi. 5, 16, 17). 

And it shall come to pass, that the fishers 
shall stand upon it from En-gedi even to 
Kn-eglaim ; they shall be a place to spread 
forth nets (xlvii. 10). 

Closer parallels are numerous in modern 
literature : 

For my part, I take Europe to be worn 
out. When Voltaire dies we may say 
" Good-night." The next Augustan age will 
dawn on the other side of the Atlantic. 
There will, perhaps, be a Thucydides at Bos- 
ton, a Xenophon at New York, and, in time, 
a Virgil at Mexico, and a Newton at Peru. 
At last some curious traveller from Lima 
will visit England, and give a description 
of the ruins of St. Paul's, like the editions 
of Baalbec and Palmyra. 

Horace Walpole. Letters to Sir Horace 
Mann. November 24, 1774. 

Where now is Britain ? 

Even as the savage sits upon the stone 
That marks where stood her capitols, and 

hears 
The bittern booming in the weeds, he

In the firm expectation, that when Lon-

Making the wind my post-horse, still 
unfold 

The acts commenced on this ball of 
earth : 

Upon my tongues continual slanders 
ride, 

The which in every language I pro- 
nounce, 

Stuffing the ears of men with false re- 
ports.

That she drinks water, and her keel 

plows air.

[Adopted as a motto by the Comedie Ital-

Paris.] 

-hould, like a polished razor keen, 
Wound with a touch that's scarcely felt 
or seen. 

Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, Epi- 
gram : To the Imitator of the First 
Satire of Horace. Bk. ii. 

Satire is a sort of glass wherein be- 
holders do generally discover every- 
body's face but their own, which is the 
chief reason for that kind reception it 
meets with in the world. 

Swift. The Battle of the Books. Preface. 

SCANDAL. 

And there's a lust in man no charm can 

tame 
Of loudly publishing our neighbour's 

shame ; 
On eagles' wings immortal scandals fly, 
While virtuous actions are but born and 
die. 
Juvenal. Satire ix. (Stephen Harvey, 
trans.) 

The mightier man, the mightier is the 

thing 
What makes him honoured, or begets 

him hate; 
For greatest scandal waits on greatest 

state.

Had each a brother's interest in his heart. 
Cowper. Hope. 1. 570. 

Dead scandals form good subjects for

There, in his noisy mansion, skill'd to

The village master taught his little 

school ; 
A man severe he was, and stern to view, — 
I knew him well, and every truant knew ; 



Well had the boding tremblers learn'd 
to trace 

The da/ s disasters in his morning face ; 

Full well they laugh'd with counter- 
feited glee 

At all his jokes, for many a joke had he ; 

Full well the busy whisper circling round 

Convey' d the dismal tidings when he

SEL FISHNESS—SELF- R ELI A NCE. 



How can we expect another to keep 
our secret if we cannot keep it ourselves? 
La Kochefoucauld. Maxims. No. 90. 

None are so fond of secrets as those 
who do not mean to keep them ; such 
persons covet secrets as a spendthrift 
covets money, for the purpose of circu- 
lation. 

Colton. Lacon. xl. 

If a fool knows a secret, he tells it 
because he is a fool ; if a knave knows 
one, he tells it wherever it is his in- 
terest to tell it. But women and young 
men are very apt to tell what secrets 
they know from the vanity of having 
been trusted. 

Chesterfield. Letters, Sentences, and 
Maxims. 

SELFISHNESS. 

Dauphin. Self-love, my lord, is not so 
vile a sin 
As self-neglecting. 

Shakkspeare. Hairy V. Act ii. Sc. 4. 
1.74. 

That man may last, but never lives, 
Who much receives, but nothing gives ; 
Whom none can love, whom none can 

thank, — 
Creation's blot, creation's blank. 

Thomas Gibbons. When Jesus Dwelt. 

By whatever name we call 
The ruling tyrant, Self is all in all. 

Churchill. The Conference. 1. 167. 

I have subdued at last the will to live, 
Expelling nature from my weary 
heart ; 
And now my life, so calm, contempla- 
tive, 
No longer selfish, freely may depart. 
The vital flame is burning less and less; 
And memory fuses to forgetfulness. 

P. G. Hamerton. The Sanyassi. 

SELF-RELIANCE. 

Ille, velut pelagi rupes immota, re- 
sistit. 

Like rock engirdled by the sea, 
Like rock immovable is he. 
Virgil. ^Eneid. vii. 586. (Conington, 
trans.) 



Come one, come all ! This rock shall fly 
From its firm base as soon as I. 

Scott. Lady of the Lake. Canto v. St. 
10. 

Where is Truth, if there be no self- 
trust ? 

Shakespeare. The Rape of Lucrece. St. 
23. 

No thought of flight, 
None of retreat, no unbecoming deed 
That argued fear ; each on himself re- 
lied, 
As only in his arm the moment lay 
Of victory. 

Milton. Paradise Lost. Bk. vi. 1. 236. 

How happy is he born or taught, 

That serveth not another's will ; 
Whose armour is his honest thought, 
And simple truth his utmost skill.

Happy Life. 

Who God doth late and early pray 
More of His grace than gifts to lend ; 

And entertains the harmless day 
With a religious book or friend.

Self-confidence is the first requisite to 
great undertakings.

Self-defence is Nature's eldest law. 
Dryden. Absalom and Achitophel. Pt. 
i. 1. 458. 

Nothing great is lightly won, 

Nothing won is lost ; 
Every good deed, nobly done, 

Will repay the cost. 
Leave to Heaven in humble trust, 

All you will to do; 
But, if you succeed you must, 

Paddle your own canoe. 
Sarah K. Bolton. Paddle Ymir Own

SHAKESPEARE. 



So bold, yet so judiciously you dare, 

That your least praise is to be regular. 

Time, place, and action, may with pains 
be wrought ; 

But genius must be born, and never can 
be taught. 

This is your portion ; this your native 
store ; 

Heaven, that but once was prodigal be- 
fore, 

To Shakespeare gave as much ; she 
could not give him more. 

Denden. Epistle to Congrcve. 

Shakespeare (whom you and every play- 
house bill 

Style the divine, the matchless, what 
you will) 

For gain, not glory, wing'd his roving 
flight, 

And grew immortal in his own despite. 
Pope. Satire v. 1. 69. 

On Avon's bank, where flowers eter- 
nal blow, 
If I but ask, if any weed can grow ? 
One tragic sentence if I dare deride 
Which Betterton's grave action dignified, 
Or well-mouth'd Booth with emphasis 

proclaims, 
(Though but, perhaps, a muster-roll of

How will our fathers rise up in a rage, 
And swear all shame is lost in George's

SHELL. 

I have seen 

A curious child, who dwelt upon a 
tract 

Of inland ground, applying to his ear 

The convolutions of a smooth-lipped 
shell, 

To which, in silence hushed, his very 
soul 

Listened intensely ; and his countenance 
soon 

Brightened with joy, for from within 
were heard 

Munnurings, whereby the monitor ex- 
pressed 

Mysterious union with his native sea. 
Wordsworth. Excursion. Bk. iv. 

But I have sinuous shells of pearly hue 
Within, and they that lustre have imbibed 
In the sun's palace-porch, where when un- 
yoked 
His chariot-wheel stands midway in the 

wave : 
Shake one, and it awakens; then apply 
Its polisht lips to your attentive ear, 
And it remembers its august abodes, 
And murmurs as the ocean murmurs there. 
I.andor. Gebir. Bk. v. 

The soul of music slumbers in the shell, 
Till worked and kindled by the master's

And feeling hearts— touch them but lightly

See what a lovely shell, 
Small and pure as a pearl, 
Lying close to my foot, 
Frail, but a work divine, 
Made so fairily well 
With delicate spire and whorl, 
How exquisitely minute, 
A miracle of design ! 
Tennyson. Maud. Pt. ii. Ch. ii. St. 1. 

I wiped away the weeds and foam,

Had left their beauty on the shore, 
With the sun and the sand and the wild

SHOES; SHOEMAKER— SICKNESS. 



He who has suffered shipwreck, fears to 

sail 
Upon the seas, though with a gentle gale. 
Herrick. Shipwreck.

to the shore : 
Ships have been drown'd where late they 

danc'd before. 

Ibid. Safety on the Shore. 

Again she plunges I hark I a second 

shock 
Bilges the splitting Vessel on the Rock- 
Down on the vale of death, with dismal 

cries 
The fated victims shuddering cast their 

eyes, 
In wild despair; while yet another 

stroke, 
With strong convulsion rends the solid 

oak: 
Ah, Heaven ! — behold her crashing ribs 

divide ! 
She loosens, parts, and spreads in ruin 

o'er the Tide. 
Falconer. Shipwreck. Canto iii. 1. 64. 

Then rose from sea to sky Hie wild 
farewell — ■ 
Then shriek'd the timid and stood 
still the brave, — 
Then some leap'd overboard with dread- 
ful yell, 
As eager to anticipate their grave ; 
And the sea yawned around her like a 
hell, 
And down she sucked with her the 
whirling wave. 
Byron. Don Juan. Canto ii. St. 52.

your shoes.

Marry, because you have drank with 

the King, 
And the King hath so graciously pledged 

you, 
You shall no more be called shoe-

But you and yours, to the world's end, 
Shall be called the trade of the gentle 
craft. 

Anon. George a-Greene. 1599.

SICKNESS. 

Cassius. He had a fever when he was 

in Spain, 
And when the fit was on him, I did 

mark 
How he did shake ; 'tis true, this god did 

shake : 
His coward lips did from their colour fly, 
And that same eye whose bend doth awe 

the world 
Did lose his lustre.

pray do not imagine that those who make 
the noise are the only inhabitants of tin-

the little shrivelled, meagre, hopping,

Or in the wide desert where no life is 

found.

Silence is deep as Eternity ; Speech is 
shallow as Time.

What dreams of pleasure long forgot ! 

Nor hope, nor joy, nor love, nor fear, 

Have left one trace of record here.

execrable son ! so to aspire 
Above his brethren, to himself assuming 
Authority usurped from God, not given, 
He gave us only over beast, fish, fowl, 
Dominion absolute; that right we hold 
By His donation ; but man over men 



He made not lord, such title to himself 

Reserving, human left from human free.

Sterne. Sentimental Journey. The Pass-

Cowper. The Task. Bk ii. 1. 29. 

Lord Mansfield first established the 
grand doctrine that the air of England 
is too pure to be breathed by a slave. 
Campbell. Lives ojtlie Lord Chancellors. 
Vol. ii. p. 418. 

[The reference is to Mansfield's decision 
in the case of James Somerset, a negro slave 
from Jamaica, who, accompanying his mas- 
ter to England, claimed his freedom and 
was brought Into court on a writ of Habeas 
Corpus (1772). The decision upheld the ar- 
gument of Hargrove, Somerset's counsel, 
that England is " a soil whose air is deemed 
too pure for slaves to breathe in." But the 
words were Hargrave's, not Lord Mans- 
field's. As reported In the state Trials, vol. 
xx, p. 1, Lord Mansfield declared that— 

Every man who comes into England is 
entitled to the protection of the English 
law, whatever oppression he may heretofore 
have suffered, and whatever may be the 
color of his skin : 

Quamvis ille niger, quamvis tu candid us. 

Cowper has summarized the plea of Har- 
grave and its endorsement by Mansfield in 
the famous lines : 
Slaves cannot breathe in England ; if their 

lungs 
Receive our air, that moment they are free ! 
They touch our country and their shackles 
fall. 
The Task. Bk. ii. The Timepiece. 1. 40. 

Later John Philpot Curran amplified the 
idea: 

I speak in the spirit of the British law, 
which makes liberty commensurate with 
and inseparable from British soil ; which 
proclaims even to the stranger and so- 
journer, the moment he sets his foot upon 
British earth, that the ground on which he 
treads is holy and consecrated by the genius 
of universal emancipation.

SONG. 



Then from a neighbouring thicket the 

mocking-bird, wildest of singers, 
Swinging aloft on a willow-spray that 

hung o'er the water, 
Shook from his little throat such floods

That the whole air and the woods and 

the waves seemed silent to listen.

The thing became a trumpet; whence 
lie blew 

S..iil-;niimatinR strains, — alas! too few. 
Wordsworth. Scorn not the Sonnet 

Y in Bilvery billows breaking on the 
beach 

Fall back in foam beneath the star-shine 

clear, 
The while my rhymes are murmuring 

in your ear 
A restless lore like that the billows 

teach ; 
For on these sonnet- waves my soul 

would reach 
From its own depths, and rest within 

you, dear, 
As, through the billowy voices yearning 

here, 
Great nature strives to find a human 

speech. 
A sonnet is a wave of melody : 
From heaving waters of the impassion' d 

soul 
A billow of tidal music one and whole 
Flows in the " octave " ; then returning 

free, 
Its ebbing surges in the "sestet" roll 
Back to the deeps of Life's tumultuous 

sea. 
Theodore Watts. The Sonnet's Voice: 
A Metrical Lesson by the Seashore. 

The Sonnet is a world, where feelings 
caught 

In webs of phantasy, combine and 
fuse 

Their kindred elements 'neath mystic 
dews 

Shed from the ether round man's dwell- 
ing wrought ; 

Infilling heart's content, star-fragrance 
fraught 

With influences from the breathing 
fires 

Of heaven in everlasting endless 
gyres 

Enfolding and encircling orbs of 
thought. 

I Kit Sonnet's world hath two fixed hemi- 
spheres : 

This, where the sun with fierce strength 
masculine 

Pours his keen rays and bids the noon- 
day shine ; 



That, where the moon and the stars, 

concordant powers, 
Shed milder rays, and daylight disap- 
pears 
In low melodious music of still hours.

SORROW. 

(See Grief; Misery; Misfortune.) 

Constance. Ohl if thou teach me to 
believe this sorrow, 
Teach thou this sorrow how to make me 

die; 
And let belief and life encounter so, 
As doth the fury of two desperate men, 
Which, in the very meeting, fall, and 
die.

No greater grief than to remember days 
Of joy when misery is at hand.

There is no greater sorrow 
Than to be mindful of the happy time 
In misery.

Chaucer has the same thought : 
For of fortunes sharpe adversite. 
The worst kind of infortune is this, — 
A man that hath been in prosperite, 
And it remember whan it passed is.

Probably both Chaucer and Dante found 
their inspiration in Boethius:

Yes, yes, we know that we can jest, 
We know, we know that we can smile ! 
But there's a something in this breast, 
To which thy light words bring no rest, 
And thy gay smiles no anodyne ; 
Give me thy hand, and hush awhile, 
And turn those limpid eyes on mine, 
And let me read there, lovel thy in- 
most soul. 
Matthew Arnold. The Buried Life.

La parole a e'te' donne" a l'homme 
pour d^guiser sa pensee. 

Speech has been given to man to con- 
ceal his thoughts. 

fA famous mot currently attributed to 
Talleyrand during his lifetime. After Tal- 
leyrand's death, Harel, the famous fabri- 
cator of mots which he attributed to the il- 
lustrious, claimed that he himself had put 
this phrase into Talleyrand's mouth. In 
any event, the phrase was not original. The 
verbal form, with the change of a single 
word, is borrowed from Moliere :— 

La parole a ete donnee a l'homme pour 
exprimer ses pens6es. 

Le Marriage Force. Sc. v. 

It will be seen that the mere substitution 
of " deguiser " (to disguise) for " exprimer " 
(to express) converts a truism into a para- 
dox. 

But the paradox itself was stolen, as well

as its verbal clothing. Voltaire, in his sa- I 
Uric dialogue. Lc Chajion et In Poularde, 
written In 1766, makes his capon complain 
of the treachery of men: 

lis ne se servent de la pens6e que pour 
autoriser lean injustices, el emploient les 
paroles que pour deguisei leurs pensees. 

Men one thought only to justify their 
wrong doings, and employ words only to 
corneal their thoughts. 

Ueuvres Completes. Vol. xxix., p. 83, ed. 
1822. 

Seven years previous Goldsmith had said 
much the same thing: 

The true use of speech is not so much to 
express our wants as to conceal them. 

The Bee, A'o. S. Oct. 2U, 1759. 

Now, in this same year, 1759, there ap- 
peared a posthumous collection of " Samuel 
Butler's Remains," which (ioldsmith re- 
viewed in the Critical Review for July 1, 1759. 
It is not impossible that Goldsmith's eye 
may have fallen upon the following passage : 

He who does not make his words rather 
Eerve to conceal than discover the sense of 
his heart, deserves to have it pulled out 
like a traitor's, and strewn publicly to the 
rabble. 

Butler. Remains. Vol. ii. p. 25. 

O monstrous, dead, unprofitable world, 
That thou canst hear, and hearing, hold 

thy way ! 
A voice oracular hath peal'd to-day, 
To-day a hero's banner is unfurPd. 

Matthew Arnold. Written in Emerson's 
Essays. 
Goldsmith may also have been familiar 
with these lines 'of Young's : 
Where Nature's end of language is declin'd, 
And men talk only to conceal the mind. 
Love of Fame. Satire ii. 1. 207. 
Likewise, both Goldsmith and Young may 
have read one or both of these passages : 

In short, this seems to be the true inward 
judgment of all our politic sages, that 
speech was given to the ordinary sort of 
men whereby to communicate the"ir mind, 
but to wise men whereby to conceal it. 

Robert South. Sermon Preached in 
Westminster Abbey. April 30, 1676. 

Speech was made to open man to man, 
and not to hide him ; to promote commerce, 
and not betray it. 

LLOYD. Stair Worthies. (1665 ; edited by 
Whltworth). Vol. i. p. 503. 

A far-off likeness to the thought may be 
found in the following quotations : 

It oft falls out, 
To have what we would have, we speak not 
what we mean. 

Measure for Measure. Act ii. Sc. 4. 
Perspicite tecum tacitus quid quisque lo- 

quatur : 
Sermo hominum mores et celat et indicat 
idem. 



Consider in silence whatever any one 
says : speech both conceals and reveals the

When birds do sing, hey ding a ding,

Sweet lovers love the spring.

rose. 

Hail, bounteous May, that dost inspire 

Mirth and youth, and warm desire ! 

Woods and groves are of thy dressing ; 

Hill and dale doth boast thy blessing. 

Thus we salute thee with our early song, 

And welcome thee and wish thee long. 
Milton. Song on May Morning. 

Come, gentle Spring, ethereal mildness, 
come; 

And from the bosom of your dropping

While music wakes around, veiled in a

Of shadowing roses, on our plains de-

SPY— STAGE. 



SPY. 

Then she rode back, clothed on with 
chastity : 

And one low churl, compact of thankless 
earth, 

The fatal byword of all years to come. 

Boring a little augur-hole in fear, 

Peep'd — but his eyes, before they had 
their will 

Were shrivell'd into darkness in his 
head, 

And dropt before him. So the Powers, 
who wait 

On noble deeds, cancell'd a sense mis- 
used. 

Tennyson Godiva. 



STAGE. 

(See Theatre.) 

Jaques. All the world's a stage, 
And all the men and women merely 

players. 
They have their exits and their en- 
trances ; 
And one man in his time plays many 

parts, 
His acts being seven ages. At first the 

infant, 
Mewling and puking in the none' 8 

arms. 
And then the whining school-boy, with 

his satchel 
And shining morning face, creeping like 

snail 
Unwillingly to school. And then the 

lover, 
Sighing like furnace, with a woful bal- 
lad 
Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then 

a soldier, 
Full of strange oaths and bearded like 

the bard ; 
Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in 

quarrel, 
Seeking the bubble reputation 
Even in the cannon's mouth. And then 

the justice, 
In fair round belly with good capon 

lined, 
With eyes severe and beard of formal 

cut, 
Full of wise saws and modern instances ; 



And so he plays his part. The sixth 

age shifts 
Into the lean and slipper 1 d pantaloon, 
With spectacles on nose and pouch on 

side; 
His youthful hose, well saved, a world 

too wide 
For his shrunk shank ; and his big 

manly voice, 
Turning again toward childish treble, 

pipes 
And whistles in his sound. Last scene 

of all, 
That ends this strange eventful history, 
Is second childishness and mere ob- 
livion, 
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans 

everything. 
Shakespeare. As You Like It. Act ii. 
Sc. 7 1. 139.

Of men and empires, — 'tis to be forgiven, 
That in our aspirations to be great, 
Our destinies o'erleap their mortal state, 
And claim a kindred with you ; for ye 

are 
A beauty and a mystery, and create 
In us such love and reverence from afar, 
That fortune, fame, power, life, have 

named themselves a star. 
Byron. Childe Harold. Canto iii. St. 88. 

This is the excellent foppery of the world ' 
that, when we are sick in fortune (often

necessity; fools by heavenly compulsion; 
knaves, thieves, and treachers by spherical 
predominance ; drunkards, liars, and adul-

STATE. 

It seems to me that only Themis- 
tocles, of all men, has truthfully, or at 
any rate carefully, shown briefly what 
are the words which the poet Alcaeus 
sang long ago, for many receiving them, 
one from another, they afterwards came 
to be. Nor stones nor timbers nor the 
art of building forms cities, but when- 
ever and wherever there may be found 
men ready to defend themselves, there 
is the city and the fortress. 

Aristides. Orations (Jebb's edition). 
Vol. ii. 

[Tbis probably gives the sense of what 
the ancients considered one of the greatest 
odes of Alcaeus. But a single line of the 
original has survived - — 

Fighting men are the city's fortress. 

It was the version given by Aristides 
which inspired Sir William Jones: 
What constitutes a State? 

Not high-raised battlement, or labored 
mound, 
Thick wall or moated gate ; 

Not cities fair, with spires and turrets 
crowned, 
No ; men, high-minded men, 

Men who their duties know, 
But know their rights, and knowing, dare 
maintain 

And sovereign law, that state's collected 
will. 
O'er thrones and globes elate, 
Sits empress, crowning good, repressing ill. 
Ode in Imitation of Alcaeus.

Converse and love, mankind may 

strongly draw, 
When love was liberty, and natun- law. 
Thus states were formed ; the name of 

king unknown, 
Till common interest placed the sway in 

one.

Diffusing blessings, or averting banns), 
The same which in a sire the sons 

obey'd, 
A prince the father of a people made. 
Pope. Essay on Man. 

A thousand years scarce serve to form a 

state ; 
An hour may lay it in the dust.

STUPIDITY. 

Peter was dull ; he was at first 

Dull, — Oh, so dull — so very dull ! 
Whether he talked, wrote, or re- 
hearsed — 
Still with this dulness was he cursed — 
Dull — bevond all conception — dull. 
Shelley" Peter Bell the Third. Pt. vii. 



Against stupidity the very gods 
Themselves contend in vain.

His canon 'gainst self-slaughter ! 

Shakespeare. Hamlet. Act i. Sc. 2.

Hamlet. To sleep ! perchance to dream : 

ay, there's the rub ; 
For in that sleep of death what dreams 

may come, 
When we have shuffled off this mortal 

coil, 
Must give us pause : there's the respect 
That makes calamity of so long life ; 
For who would bear the whips and 

scorns of time, 
Th' oppressor's wrong, the proud man's 

contumely, 
The pangs of despised love, the law's 

delay, 
The insolence of office, and the spurns 
That patient merit of the unworthy 

takes, 
When he himself might his quietus make 
With a bare bodkin? Who would far- 
dels bear, 
To grunt and sweat under a weary life, 
But that the dread of something after 

death, — 
The undiscovered country, from whose 

bourn 
No traveller returns, — puzzles the will, 
And makes us rather bear those ills we 

have 
Than fly to others that we know not of? 
Thus, conscience does make cowards of 

us all ; 
And thus the native hue of resolution 
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of 

thought ; 



And enterprises of great pith and mo- 
ment, 

With this regard their currents turn 
awry, 

And lose the name of action. — Soft you 
now ! 

The fair Ophelia ! Nymph, in thy ori- 
sons 

Be all my sins remember'd. 

Shakespeare. Hamlet. Act iii. Sc. 1. 
1.65. 

Ab, to behold desert a beggar born, 
And needy nothing trimm'd in jollity, 
And purest faith unhappily forsworn, 
And gilded honor shamefully misplaced. 
And maiden virtue rudely strumpeted, 
And right perfection wrongfully disgraced, 
And strength by limping sway disabled, 
And art made tongue-tied by authority, 
And folly (doctor-like) controlling skill, 
And simple truth miscall'd simplicity, 
And captive good attending captain ill : 
Tired with all these, from these would I be 

gone; 
Save that, to die, I leave my love alone. 
Ibid. Sonnet lxvi. 

Death may be call'd in vain, and cannot 
come, 

Tyrants can tie him up from your re- 
lief: 

Nor has a Christian privilege to die. 

Alas, thou art too young in thy new 
Faith. 

Brutus and Cato might discharge their 
souls, 

And give them furlo's for another world : 

But we like sentries are oblig'd to stand 

In starless nights, and wait th' ap-

prove, 

By his love'd mansionry, that the 
heaven's breath 

Smells wooingly here ; no jutty. frieze, 

Buttress, nor coign of vantage, hut this 
bird 

Hath made its pendent bed, and pro- 
creant cradle : 

Where they most breed and haunt, I 
have observ'd, 

The air is delicate. 

Ibid. Macbeth. Act i. Sc. 6. 1. 3. 

When autumn scatters his departing 
gleams, 

Warned of approaching winter, gath- 
ered, play 

The swallow-people; and tossed wide 
around, 



O'er the calm sky in convolution swift, 
The feathered eddy floats; rejoicing 

once, 
Ere to their wintry dam ben they retire. 
Thomson. The Seasons: Autumn, 1.836. 

Nature's licensed vagabond, the swal- 
low. 

Tennyson. Queen Mary. Act v. Sc. 1. 

It's surely summer, for there's a swal- 
low: 
Comes one swallow, his mate will follow, 
The bird-iace quicken and wheel and 
thicken. 

Christina G. Rossetti. A Bird Song. 
St. 2. 

SWAN. 

You think that upon the score of 
fore-knowledge and divining I am in- 
finitely inferior to the swans. When 
they perceive approaching death they 
sing more merrily than before, because 
of the joy they have in going to the 
God they serve. 

Socrates. In Phaedo. 77. 

Prince Henry. 'Tis strange that death 
should sing. 
I am the cygnet to this pale faint swan, 
Who chants a doleful hymn to his own 

death ; 
And, from the organ-pipe of frailty, sings 
His soul and body to their lasting rest.

With bootless labour swim against the

Her state with oarv feet.

SWEETNESS— S WORD. 



The stately-sailing swan 
Gives out his snowy plumage to the gale ; 
And, arching proud his neck, with oary feet 
Bears forward fierce, and guards his osier- 
isle, 
Protective of his young. 

Thomson. The Seasons : Spring. 1. 775. 

On thy fairy bosom, silver lake, 

The wild swan spreads his snowy sail, 

And round his breast the ripples break 
As down he bears before the gale.

SWEETNESS.

The little sweet doth kill much bitterness. 
Keats. Isabella, xiii. 

The fly that sips treacle is lost in the 
sweets. 

Gay. Beggar's Opera. Act ii. Sc. 2. 

For the rest, whatever we have got 
has been by infinite labor and search, 
and ranging through every corner of 
nature ; the difference is, that, instead 
of dirt and poison, we have rather 
chosen to fill our hives with honey and 
wax, thus furnishing mankind with the 
two noblest of things, which are, sweet- 
ness-and light.

Thus says the prophet of the Turk, 
Good Musselman, abstain from pork. 
Cowper. Love of the World Reproved. 
[This poem is founded on an ancient 
Arabian apologue, which feigned that Ma- 
hommed allowed his followers to eat every 
portion of the hog, save only one, which he 
slyly left unspecified. Therefore, Moham- 
medans let the hog entirely alone, lest they 
might eat the forbidden portion. But the 
later followers of the prophet thought it 
hard 

From the whole hog to be debarred, 

because a single part had been forbidden. 
So one took a leg, another a shoulder, a 
third, and a fourth, and so on, each his par- 
ticular titbit: 
With sophistry their sauce they sweeten 
Till quite from tail to snout 'tis eaten. 

Hence the proverb to go the whole hog.] 



SWORD. 

Then said Jesus unto him, Put up 
again thy sword into his place : for all 
they that take the sword, shall perish 
with the sword. 

New Testament. Matthew xxvi. 52. 

" Put up the sword ! " The voice of Christ 

once more 
Speaks, in the pauses of the cannon's roar . . 
O men and brothers ! let that voice be heard,

TEARS. 



686 



Nothing is here for tears, nothing to 

w:iil 

Or knock the breast, no weakness, no 

contempt, 
Dispraise or blame — nothing but well 

and fair. 
And what may quiet us in death so 

noble. 
Milton. Samson Agonistes. 1. 1721. 

Thrice lie assay'd, and thrice in spite of 

scorn 
Tears, such as angels weep, burst forth. 
Ibid. Paradise Lost. Bk. i. 1. 619. 

Without the meed of some melodious 
tear. 

Ibid. Lycidas. 1. 14. 

What precious drops are those 
Which silently each other's track pur- 
sue, 
Bright as young diamonds in their infant 
dew? 

Dryden. Conquest of Grenada. Pt. ii. 
Act iii. Sc. 1. 

The social smile, the sympathetic tear. 
Gray. Education and Government. 

Weep no more, Lady 1 weep no more, 

Thy sorrow is in vain ; 
For violets plucked, the sweetest showers 
Will ne'er make grow again. 

Percy. Reliques. The Friar of Orders 
Gray. 

No radiant Pearl, which crested Fortune 
wears, 

No gem that twinkling hangs from wo- 
men's ears, 

Not the bright stars which Night's blue 
arch adorn 

Nor rising suns that gild the vernal 
morn, 

Shine with such lustre as the tear that 
flows 

Down Virtue's manly cheek for other's 
woes. 
Erasmus Darwin. Ttie Botanic Garden. 
Pt. ii. Canto 3. 1. 459. 

And the tear that we shed, though in 

secret it rolls, 
Shall long keep his memory green in 

our souls. 

Moore. Oh, Breathe Not His Name. 



The glorious angel who was keeping 
The gates of Light, beheld her weeping ; 
And, as he nearer drew and listen'd 
To her sad song, a tear-drop glisten'd 
Within his eyelids, like the spray 

From Eden's fountain, where it lies 
On the blue flow'r, which — Bramins 
say — 
Blooms nowhere but in Paradise. 
Moore. Lalla Rookh. Paradise and 
the Peril. 

Child of mortality, whence comest 
thou? W T hy is thy countenance sad, 
and why are thine eyes red with weep- 
ing? 

Mrs. Barbauld. Hymns in Prose, xiii. 

The tear, down childhood's cheek that 

flows, 
Is like the dewdrop on the rose ; 
When next the summer breeze comes by 
And waves the bush, the flower is dry. 
Scott. Rokeby. Canto iv. St. XI. 

But woe awaits a country, when 
She sees the tears of bearded men. 
Ibid. Marmion. Canto v. St. 16. 

Oh I too convincing — dangerously dear — 
In woman's eyes th' unanswerable tear I 
That weapon of her weakness she can 

wield 
To save, subdue, at once her spear and 
shield. 
Byron. The Corsair. Canto ii. St. 15. 

She was a good deal shocked, — not 
shocked at tears; 
For women shed and use them at 
their liking ; 
But there is something when man's eye 
appears 
Wet, still more disagreeable and 
striking. 
Ibid. Don Juan. Canto v. St. 118. 

Oh would I were dead now, 
Or up in my bed now, 
To cover my head now, 
And have a good crv. 

Hood. A Table of Errata. 

E'en like the passage of an angel's tear 
That falls through the clear ether 
silently. 
Keats. To One who has been long in City 
pent. 



TEMPERANCE- TEMPT A TIOK 



There shall be love when genial morn 

appears, 
Like pensive Beauty smiling through 

her tears. 

Campbell. Pleasures of Hope. 1. 95. 

Tears, idle tears, I know not what 

they mean. 
Tears from the depth of some divine 

despair 
Rise in the heart and gather to the eyes, 
In looking on the happy autumn-fields, 
And thinking of the days that are no 

more. 

Tennyson. Princess, iv. Song. 1. 1. 



TEMPERANCE. 

(See Moderation.) 

Impostor I do not charge most innocent 

Nature 
As if she would her children should be 

riotous 
With her abundance. She, good ca- 

teress, 
Means her provision only to the good, 
That live according to her sober laws, 
And holy dictate of spare Temperance. 
Milton. Comus. 1. 762. 

Reason's whole pleasure, all the joys of 

sense, 
Lie in three words, health, peace, and 

competence. 
But health consists with temperance 

alone ; 
And peace, O Virtue I peace is all thy 

own. 
Pope. Essay on Man. Ep. iv. 1. 79. 

Call'd to the temple of impure delight 
He that abstains, and he alone, does 

right. 
If a wish wander that way, call it home; 
He cannot long be safe whose wishes 

roam. 
Cowper. The Progress of Error. 1. 557.

Angelo. Most dangerous 
Is that temptation that doth goad us on 
To sin in loving virtue.

Devils soonest tempt, resembling spirits 
of light. 
Shakespeare. Love's Labour's Lost. Act

Temptations hurt not, though they have 
access ; 

Satan o'ercomes none but by willing- 
ness. 

Herrick. Hesperides. 

The devil tempts us not— 'tis we tempt him, 
Reckoning his skill with opportunity. 
George Eliot. Felix Holt. Ch. xlvii. 

The subtlest tempter hath the smooth- 
est style, 

Sirens sing sweetest when they would 
betray. 
Drayton. Legend of Matilda the Fair. 

He comes too near that comes to be de- 
nied. 
Sir Thos. Overbury. A Wife. St. 36. 

In part she is to blame that has been tried : 
He comes too near that comes to be denied. 
Lady M. W. Montagu. The Lady's Re- 
solve. 

The devil was piqu'd such saintship 

to behold, 
And longed to tempt him like good Job 

of old ; 
But Satan now is wiser than of yore. 
And tempts by making rich, not making 

poor. 

Pope. Moral Essays. Epis. iii. 1. 349. 

As the Sandwich Islander believes 
that the strength and valor of the 
enemy he kills, passes into himself, so 
we gain the strength of the temptation 
we resist. 

Emerson. Essays. First Series. Com- 
pensation. 

But in spite of all temptations, 
To belong to other nations, 

He remains an Englishman 1 
Gilbert and Sullivan. H. M. S. Pina- 
fore. Act ii. 

Why comes temptation, but for man to 

meet 
And master and make crouch beneath 

his foot, 
And so be pedestaled in triumph ? 

Browning. The Ring and the Book. The 
Pope. 1. 1185.

Timon. I'll example you with thiev-

The sun's a thief, and with his great 
attraction 

Robs the vast sea ; the moon's an arrant 
thief, 

And her pale fire she snatches from the 



The sea's a thief, whose liquid surge re-

From general excrement: each thing's 
a thief.

The power of Thought — the magic of

Byron. The Corsair. Canto i. St. 8. 

We figure to ourselves 
The thing we like ; and then we build

And home-bound Fancy runs her bark 
ashore.

TIME. 



His golden locks time hath to silver 
turned ; 
O time too swift ! O swiftness never 
ceasing ! 
His youth 'gainst time and age hath 
ever spurned, 
But spurned in vain, youth waneth 
by encreasing. 
George Poole. Sonnet. Polyhymnia. 

I made a posy while the day ran by ; 
Here will I smell my remnant out, and tie 

My life within this band. 
But time did beckon to the flowers, and 

they 
By noon most cunningly did steal away, 
And wither'd in my hand.

Here's to the maiden of bashful fifteen ; 

Here's to the widow of fifty ; 
Here's to the flaunting, extravagant 
quean ; 
And here's to the house-wife that's 
thrifty. 

Let the toast pass. 
Drink to the lass. 
I'll warrant she'll prove an excuse for 
the glass. 

Sheridan. School for Scandal. Act iii.

to choke a man and fill him full of 
smoke and embers. 

Ben Jonson. Every Man in His Humour.

Would do anvthing but die. 
Ibid. A Farewell to Tobacco. 1. 123. 

Sublime tobacco ! which from east to west 
Cheer the tar's labor or the Turkman's 

rest; 
Which on the Moslem's ottoman divides 
His hours and rivals opium and his 

brides ; 
Magnificent in Stamboul, but less grand, 
Though not less loved, in Wapping or 

the Strand : 
Divine in hookahs, glorious in a pipe, 
When tipped with amber, mellow, rich, 

and ripe ; 
Like other charmers, wooing the caress 
More dazzling when daring in full dress ; 
Yet thy true lovers more admire by far 
Thy naked beauties— Give me a cigar ! 
" Byron. The Island. Canto ii. St. 19.

me my choice between 
The wee little whimpering Love and the 

great god Nick O' Teen.

TRANSPOSITION. 

Here lie I, Martin Elginbrodde, 
Have mercy o' my soul, Lord I rod, 
As I woidd (In were I Lord God, 

And ye were Martin Elginbrodde. 

[This is one of many variants of an epi- 
taph frequently found In British and Ameri- 
can graveyards. George Macdonald cites it 
in this form In his novel of David Elginbrod. 
James Howella, in one of his letters, gives 
the following quotation as the versification 
of a passage in St. Augustine : 

If I were Thou and Thou wert I, 

I would resign the Deity, 

Thou shouldst be God, I would be man— 

Is't possible that Love more can ? 

The sentiment has been'traced back as 
far as the Kig Veda and other sacred books 
of the Orient. One example must suffice : 

Were I thou, Agni, and wert thou I, this 
aspiration should be fulfilled. 
Rig Veda, viii. 19, 26.] 

Isabella. I would to heaven I had your 

potency 
And you were Isabel 1 Should it then

And what a prisoner.

If I could dwell 
Where Israfel

Poe. Israfel. 

If there be any one can take my place 
And make you happy whom I grieve 

to grieve, 
Think not that I can grudge it, but

I do commend you to that nobler grace 
That readier wit than mine, that sweeter 
face.

TRA VEL. 



[The Poeni or Carthaginians were reputed 
by the Romans to be a perfidious race. In 
similar vein Horace speaks of Farthis men- 
dacior, ''more lying than the Parthians," 
while Epimenides, and after him St. Paul, 
say "the Cretans are always liars." 

New Testament. Titus i. 12.] 

Treason doth never prosper : what's the 

reason ? 
Why, if it prosper, none dare call it 
treason.

Successful crimes alone are justified.

Red with uncommon wrath, to blast the 

man

ruin? 

Addison. Cato. Act i. Sc. 1.

The traitor to humanity is the traitor 

most accursed.

Travel, in the younger sort, is a part

Traveling is a fool's paradise. We owe to

at Rome, I can be intoxicated with beauty, 
and lose my sadness. I pack my trunk, em- 
brace my friends, embark on the sea, and 
at last wake up in Naples, and there beside 
me is the stern Fact, the sad self, unrelent-

I am not intoxicated. My giant goes with

For the want of a shoe the horse was lost,

For the want of a battle the kingdom was 

lost— 
And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.

Half a century later the famous quarrel

Done, entre Gluck et Piccini 
Tout le Parnasse est desuni ;

Et Olio.veut battre Uranie. 
Pour moi, qui crains toute manie, 
Plus irresolu que Babouc, 
N'epousant Piccini ni Gluck, 
Je n'y connais rien ; ergo, Gluck.]

Questions are then the windlass and the

Night brings out stars as sorrow shows us 

truth : 
Though many, yet they help not; bright, 

they light not. 
They are too late to serve us ; and sad things 
Are aye too true. We never see the stars 
Till we can see naught but them. So with 

truth. 
And yet if one would look down a deep 

well, 
Even at noon, we might see those same 

stars.

Cowper. Tirocinium. 1. 77. 

When fiction rises pleasing to the eye, 
Men will believe, because they love" the

Might for long, lying, make himself

Agree to a short armistice with truth.

UNION.

In so righteous a cause we may hope to 
succeed, 

For Heaven approves every generous 
deed. 
John Dickinson. The Patriot's Appeal. 

[This song was originally published July 
4, 1776, in the Pennsylvania Chronicle of 
Philadelphia. Parodied by the Tories, it 
brought forth a counter-parody in the 
Massachusetts Liberty Song. Morris alludes 
to the vogue of Dickinson's famous second 
line: 

A song for our banner! The watchword 
recall 

Which gave the Republic her station : 
" United we stand, divided we fall !" 

It made and preserves us a nation ! 
The union of lakes, the union of lands, 

The union of States none can sever, 
The union of hearts, the union of hands 

And the flag of our union forever. 

George P. Morris. The Flag of Our 
Union. 

In the form, "United we stand, divided 
we fall," Dickinson's line, as amended by 
Morris, became the motto of the State of 
Kentucky. The idea itself goes back to 
remotest antiquity:

UNION.

By union the smallest states thrive, by 
discord the greatest are destroyed. 

Sallust. Jugurtha. x.] 

When my eyes shall be turned to be- 
hold, for the last time, the sun in heav- 
en, may I not see him shining on the 
broken and dishonored fragments of a 
once glorious Union ; on States dissev-

rent with civil feuds, or drenched, it 
may be, in fraternal blood !

Scilurus on his death-bed, being about to 
leave fourscore sons surviving, offered a 
bundle of darts to each of them, and bade 
them break them. When all refused, draw-

thus teaching them that if they held to-

they fell out and were divided they would 
become weak.

If this bill [for the admission of Or-

my deliberate opinion that it is virtually 
a dissolution of the Union ; that it will 
free the States from their moral obliga-

Ah, Heaven! — behold her crashing ribs

She loosens, parts, and spreads in ruin

Falconer. Shipwreck. Canto iii. 1. 64. 

Then rose from sea to sky the wild 
farewell — 
Then shriek'd the timid and stood 
still the brave, — 
Then some leap'd overboard with dread- 
ful yell, 
As eager to anticipate their grave ; 
And the sea yawned around her like a 
hell, 
And down she sucked with her the 
whirling wave. 
Byron. Don Juan. Canto ii. St. 52. 

And fast through the midnight dark 
and drear, 
Through the whistling sleet and snow, 
Like a sheeted ghost, the vessel swept 
Towards the reef of Norman's Woe.

SHOES; SHOEMAKER. 

Ne sutor supra crepidam. 

A cobbler should stick to his last. 

Pliny. 85, 10. 

[When a cobbler, not content with point- 
ing out defects in a shoe of Apelles' paint- 
ing, presumed to criticise the drawing of 
the leg, the artist checked him with the 
above rebuke.] 



Second Citizen. I am indeed, sir, a 
surgeon to old shoes ; when they are in 
great danger I recover them. As proper 
men as ever trod upon meat's leather 
have gone upon my handiwork.

wife? 

John Heywood. Proverbs. Pt. i. Ch. ix. 

Ye tuneful cobblers I still your notes 

prolong, 
Compose at once a slipper and a song; 
So shall the fair your handiwork pe- 
ruse, 
Your sonnets sure shall please — perhaps 
your shoes. 
Byron. English Bards and Scotch Re- 
viewers. 1. 751. 

Marry, because you have drank with 

the King, 
And the King hath so graciously pledged 

you, 
You shall no more be called shoe- 
makers ; 
But you and yours, to the world's end, 
Shall be called the trade of the gentle 
craft. 

Anon. George a-Greene. 1599. 
[According to tradition the king was Ed- 
ward IV., who once drank incognito with a 
party of shoemakers and pledged them.] 

SICKNESS. 

Cassiiis. He had a fever when he was 

in Spain, 
And when the fit was on him, I did 

mark 
How he did shake ; 'tis true, this god did 

shake : 
His coward lips did from their colour fly, 
And that same eye whose bend doth awe 

the world 
Did lose his lustre. 

Shakespeare. Julius Cscsar. Act i. S«.

And will he steal out of his wholesome 

bed, 
To dare the vile contagion of the night? 
Ibid. Julius Cxsar. Act ii. Sc. 1. 1. 263. 

So, when a raging fever burns, 
We shift from side to side by turns ; 
And 't is a poor relief we gain 
To change the place, but keep the pain. 
Isaac Watts. Spirilual Hymns. Hymn 
146. 

See the wretch, that long has tost 

On the thorny bed of pain 
At length repair his vigour lost, 

And breathe and walk again : 
The meanest flow'ret of the vale, 
The simplest note that swells the gale, 
The common sun, the air, the skies, 
To him are opening paradise. 

Gray. Ode on a Vicissitude.

Because half-a-dozen grasshoppers under

portunate chink, whilst thousands of great 
cattle reposed beneath the shadow of the 
British oak, chew the cud and are silent, 
pray do not imagine that those who make 
the noise are the only inhabitants <>f the 
field; that of course they are many in num- 
ber; or that, after all, they are other than 
the little shrivelled, meagre, hopping, 
though loud and troublesome insects of the 
hour.

Come then, expressive silence, muse 
His praise.

Or in the wide desert where no life is 

found.

Under all speech that is good for any-

Silence is deep as Eternity ; Speech is 
shallow as Time. 

Ibid. Essays: Memoirs of the Life of

those lips that I have kissed I know not 
how oft. Where be your gibes now ; 
your gambols, your songs ? your flashes 
of merriment, that were wont to set the 
table on a roar? Not one now, to mock 
your own grinning ? Quite chap-fallen ?

Look on its broken arch, its ruin'd wall, 
Its chambers desolate, and portals foul : 
yea, this was once Ambition's airy ball. 
The dome of Thought, the palace of the 

Bonl 1 : 
Behold through each lack-lustre, eyeless 

hole : 
The gay recess of Wisdom and of Wit, 
And Passion's host, that never brook'd 

control : 
Can all saint, sage, or sophist ever writ, 
People this lonely tower, this tenement 
re tit? 

Byron. Childe Harold. Canto ii. St. 6.

Acropolis] 

Edmund Waller. On Tea. 

Behold this ruin ! Twas a skull 

Once of ethereal spirit full. 

This narrow cell was Life's retreat, 

This space was Thought's mysterious seat. 

What beauteous visions filled this spot! 

What dreams of pleasure long forgot ! 

Nor hope, nor joy, nor love, nor fear, 

Have left one trace of record here. 

Anon. Lines to a Skeleton.

grave 
This viperous slander enters.

seeming, 
To hide her bloodless heart's soul- 

harden'd scheming; 
A lip of lies, a face formed to conceal ; 
And, without feeling, mock at all who 

feel: 
With a vile mask the Gorgon would

A cheek of parchment, and an eye of 

stone.

That sinews bought and sold have ever 

earn'd. 

Cowper. The Task. Bk ii. 1. 29. 

Lord Mansfield first established the 
grand doctrine that the air of England 
is too pure to be breathed by a slave. 
Campbell. Lives ojtlie Lord Chancellors. 
Vol. ii. p. 418. 

[The reference is to Mansfield's decision 
in the case of James Somerset, a negro slave 
from Jamaica, who, accompanying his mas- 
ter to England, claimed his freedom and 
was brought into court on a writ of Habeas 
Corpus (1772). The decision upheld the ar- 
gument of Hargrave, Somerset's counsel, 
that England is " a soil whose air is deemed 
too pure for slaves to breathe in." But the 
words were Ilargrave's, not Lord Mans- 
field's. As reported in the State Trials, vol. 
xx, p. 1, Lord Mansfield declared that— 

Every man who comes into England is 
entitled to the protection of the EiiKlish 
law, whatever oppression he may heretofore 
have suffered, and whatever may be the 
color of his skin : 

Quamvis ille niger, quamvis til candidus. 

Cowper has summarized the plea of Har- 
grave and its endorsement by Mansfield in 
the famous lines : 
Slaves cannot breathe in England ; if their 

lungs 
Receive our air, that moment they are free ! 
They touch our country and their shackles 
fall. 
The Task. Bk. ii. The Timepiece. 1. 40. 

Later John Philpot Curran amplified the 
idea: 

I speak in the spirit of the British law, 
which makes liberty commensurate with 
and inseparable from British soil ; which 
proclaims even to the stranger and so- 
journer, the moment he sets his foot upon 
British earth, that the ground on which he 
treads is holy and consecrated by the genius 
of universal emancipation.

Around the radiant fireplace, enclosed 
In a tumultuous privacy of storm.

SONG. 



Then from a neighbouring thicket the

Swinging aloft on a willow-spray that

Shook from his little throat such floods

That the whole air and the woods and 

the waves seemed silent to listen.

Tli«- tiling became a trumpet; whence 

be blew 
Bool-animating strains, — alas! too few. 
Wordsworth. Scorn not the Sonnet 

Yon silvery billows breaking on the 

beach 
Fall back in foam beneath the star-shine 

clear, 
The while my rhymes are murmuring 

in your ear 
A restless lore like that the billows 

teach ; 
For on these sonnet-waves my soul 

would reach 
From its own depths, and rest within 

you, dear, 
As, through the billowy voices yearning 

here, 
Great nature strives to find a human 

speech. 
A sonnet is a wave of melody : 
From heaving waters of the impassion'd 

soul 
A billow of tidal music one and whole 
Flows in the " octave " ; then returning 

free, 
Its ebbing surges in the "sestet" roll 
Back to the deeps of Life's tumultuous 

sea. 
Theodore Watts. The Sonnet's Voice: 
A Metrical Lesson by the Seashore. 

The Sonnet is a world, where feelings 
caught 

In webs of phantasy, combine and 
fuse 

Their kindred elements 'neath mystic 
dews 

Shed from the ether round man's dwell- 
ing wrought ; 

Distilling heart's content, star-fragrance 
fraught 

With influences from the breathing 
fires 

Of heaven in everlasting endless 
gyres 

Enfolding and encircling orbs of 
thought. 

Our Sonnet's world hath two fixed hemi- 
spheres : 

This, where the sun with fierce strength 
masculine 

Pours his keen rays and bids the noon- 
day shine ; 



That, where the moon and the stars, 

concordant powers, 
Shed milder rays, and daylight disap- 
pears 
In low melodious music of still hours.

Who shames a scribbler? Break one

Pope. Prologue to the Satires. 1. 89. 

Here the self torturing sophist, wild

The breath which made him wretched.

No greater grief than to remember days 
Of joy when misery is at hand.

There is no greater sorrow 
Than to be mindful of the happy time

Chaucer has the same thought: 
For of fortunes sharpe adversite, 
The worst kind of infortune is this,— 
A man that hath been in prosperite, 
And it remember whan it passed is.

their inspiration in Boethius :

But there's a something in this breast, 
To which thy light words bring no rest, 
And thy gay smiles no anodyne ; 
Give me thy hand, and hush awhile, 
And turn those limpid eyes on mine, 
And let me read there, love I thy in-

La parole a e'te' donne* a l'homme

Speech has been given to man to con- 
ceal his thoughts. 

[A famous mot currently attributed to 
Talleyrand during his lifetime. After Tal- 
leyrand's death, Harel, the famous fabri- 
cator of mots which he attributed to the il- 
lustrious, claimed that he himself had put 
this phrase into Talleyrand's mouth. In 
any event, the phrase was not original. The 
verbal form, with the change of a single 
word, is borrowed from Moliere : — 

La parole a et6 donnee a l'homme pour 
exprimer ses pensees. 

Le Marriage Force. Sc. v. 

It will be seen that the mere substitution 
of "deguiser" (to disguise) for "exprimer" 
(to express) converts a truism into a para- 
dox.

a* fa verbal clothing. Voltaire, in his sa- I 
tirir dialogue, Le Chapon ct la Poularde, 
written in 1766, makes his capon complain 
of the treachery of men: 

lis ne se serrent de la pensee que pour 

autoriser leurs injustices, et emploient les 

paroles que pour deguiser leurs pensees. 

Men use tliought only to justify their 

doings, and employ words only to 

conceal their thoughts. 

Oeuvres Computes. Vol. xxix., p. 83, ed. 
1822. 
Seven years previous Goldsmith had said 
much the same thing: 

The true use of speech is not so much to 
express our wants as to conceal them. 

The Bee, No. S. Oct. 20, 1759. 

Now, iu this same year. 1759, there ap- 
peared a posthumous collection of "Samuel 
Butler's Remains," which Goldsmith re- 
viewed in the Critical Review for July l, 1759. 
It is not impossible that Goldsmith's eye 
may have fallen upon the following passage : 

He who does not make his words rather 
serve to conceal than discover the sense of 
his heart, deserves to have it pulled out 
like a traitor's, and strewn publicly to the 
rabble. 

Butler. Remains. Vol. ii. p. 25. 

<) monstrous, dead, unprofitable world, 
That thou canst hear, and hearing, hold 

thy way ! 
A voice oracular hath peal'd to-day, 
To-day a hero's banner is unfurl'd. 
Matthew Arnold. Written in Emerson's 
Essays. 
Goldsmith may also have been familiar 
with these lines of Young's : 
Where Nature's end of language is declin'd, 
And men talk only to conceal the mind. 
Love of tame. Satire ii. 1. 207. 
Likewise, both Goldsmith and Young may 
have read one or both of these passages : 

In short, this seems to be the true inward 
judgment of all our politic sages, that 
speech was given to the ordinary sort of 
men whereby to communicate their mind, 
but to wise men whereby to conceal it. 

Robert South. Sermon Preached in 
Westminster Abbey. April 30, 1676. 

Speech was made to open man to man, 
and not to hide him; to promote commerce, 
and not betray it.

Whitworth). Vol. i. p. 503. 

A far-off likeness to the thought may be 
found in the following quotations : 

It oft falls out. 
To have what we would have, we speak not 
what we mean.

Perspicite tecum tacitus quid quisque lo-

From her founts will overrun in a ruddy

Unerringly proceed to their pre- 
appointed roots.

SPY— STAGE. 



SPY. 

Then she rode back, clothed on with 
chastity : 

And one low churl, compact of thankless 
earth, 

The fatal byword of all years to come. 

Boring a little augur-hole in fear, 

Peep'd — but his eyes, before they had 
their will 

Were shrivell'd into darkness in his 
head, 

And dropt before him. So the Powers, 
who wait 

On noble deeds, cancell'd a sense mis- 
used. 

Tennyson Godiva. 



STAGE. 

(See Theatre.) 

Jaques. All the world's a stage, 
And all the men and women merely 

players. 
They have their exits and their en- 
trances ; 
And one man in his time plays many 

parts, 
His acts being seven ages. At first the 

infant, 
Mewling and puking in the nurse's 

arms. 
And then the whining school-boy, with 

his satchel 
And shining morning face, creeping like 

snail 
Unwillingly to school. And then the 

lover, 
Sighing like furnace, with a woful bal- 
lad 
Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then 

a soldier, 
Full of strange oaths and bearded like 

the bard ; 
Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in 

quarrel, 
Seeking the bubble reputation 
Even in the cannon' s mouth. And then 

the justice, 
In fair round bell? with good capon 

lined, 
With eyes severe and beard of formal 

cut, 
Full of wise saws and modern instances j 



And so he plays his part. The sixth 

age shifts 
Into the lean and slipper" d pantaloon, 
With spectacles on nose and pouch on 

side; 
His youthful hose, well saved, a world 

too wide 
For his shrunk shank ; and his big 

manly voice, 
Turning again toward childish treble, 

pipes 
And whistles in his sound. Last scene 

of all, 
That ends this strange eventful history, 
Is second childishness and mere ob- 
livion, 
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans 

everything. 
Shakespeare. As You Like It. Act ii. 
Sc. 7 1 188. 

I take the world to be but as a stage, 
Where net-maskt men do play their per-

Of simulated stature, face, and speech :

itself, 
Its shifting fancies and celestial lights, 
With all its grand orchestral silences 
To keep the pauses of its rhythmic 

sounds.

approach 
And lessening orbs on lessening orbs

Flowers of the sky ! ye, too, to age must

Frail as your silken sisters of the field ! 
Star after star from heaven's high arch

Suns sink on suns, and systems systems

And death, and night, and chaos, min-

Ye stars ! which are the poetry of 

Heaven, 
If in your bright leaves we would read 

the fate 
Of men and empires, — 'tis to be forgiven, 
That in our aspirations to be great, 
Our destinies o'erleap their mortal state, 
And claim a kindred with you ; for ye 

are 
A beauty and a mystery, and create 
In us such love and reverence from afar, 
That fortune, fame, power, life, have 

named themselves a star. 
Byron. Vhilde Harold. Canto iii. St. 88. 

This is the excellent foppery of the world ! 
that, when we are sick in fortune (often 
the surfeit of our own behaviour) we make 
guilty of our disasters the sun, the moon, 
and the stars; as if we were villains by 
necessity; fools by heavenly compulsion; 
knaves, "thieves, and treachers by spherical 
predominance ; drunkards, liars, and adul- 
terers by an enforced obedience of plane- 
tary influence; and all that we are evil in 
by a divine thrusting on. An admirable

STATE. 

It seems to me that only Themis- 
tocles, of all men, has truthfully, or at 
any rate carefully, shown briefly what 
are the words which the poet Alcaeas 
sang long ago, for many receiving them, 
one from another, they afterwards came 
to be. Nor stones nor timbers nor the 
art of building forms cities, but when- 
ever and wherever there may be found 
men ready to defend themselves, there 
is the city and the fortress. 

Aristides. Orations (Jebb's edition). 
Vol. ii. 

[This probably gives the sense of what 
the ancients considered one of the greatest 
odes of Alcaeus. But a single line of the 
original has survived •— 

Fighting men are the city's fortress. 

It was the version given by Aristides 
which inspired .Sir William Jones: 
What constitutes a State? 

Not high-raised battlement, or labored 
mound, 
Thick wall or moated gate ; 

Not cities fair, with spires and turrets 
crowned, 
No ; men, high-minded men, 

Men who their duties know. 
But know their rights, and knowing, dare 
maintain 

And sovereign law, that state's collected 
will. 
O'er thrones and globes elate, 
Sits empress, crowning good, repressing ill. 
Ode in Imitation of Alcaeus.

Converse and love, mankind may 

strongly draw, 
When love was liberty, and nature law. 
Thus states were formed ; the name of 

king unknown, 
Till common interest placed the sway in 

one.

Diffusing blessings, or averting harms), 
The same which in a sire the sons 

obey'd, 
A prince the father of a people made.

A thousand years scarce serve to form a 

state ; 
An hour may lay it in the dust.

STUPIDITY— SUCCESS. 



Or so devote to Aristotle's checks, 
As Ovid be an outcast quite abjured : 
Talk logic with acquaintance that you 

have, 
And practise rhetoric in your common

Fall to them as you find your stomach 

serves you :

ta'en ; — 
In brief, Sir, study what you most affect.

Hamlet. To sleep ! perchance to dream : 

ay, there's the rub ; 
For in that sleep of death what dreams 

may come, 
When we have shuffled off this mortal 

coil, 
Must give us pause : there's the respect 
That makes calamity of so long life ; 
For who would bear the whips and 

scorns of time, 
Th' oppressor's wrong, the proud man's 

contumely, 
The pangs of despised love, the law's 

delay, 
The insolence of office, and the spurns 
That patient merit of the unworthy 

takes, 
When he himself might his quietus make 
With a bare bodkin ? Who would far- 
dels bear, 
To grunt and sweat under a weary life, 
But that the dread of something after 

death, — 
The undiscovered country, from whose 

bourn 
No traveller returns, — puzzles the will, 
And makes us rather bear those ills we 

have 
Than fly to others that we know not of? 
Thus, conscience does make cowards of 

us all ; 
And thus the native hue of resolution 
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of 

thought ; 



And enterprises of great pith and mo- 
ment, 

With this regard their currents turn 
awry, 

And lose the name of action. — Soft you

Ab, to behold desert a beggar born, 
And needy nothing trimm'd in jollity, 
And purest faith unhappily forsworn, 
And gilded honor shamefully misplaced, 
And maiden virtue rudely strumpeted, 
And right perfection wrongfully disgraced, 
And strength by limping sway disabled, 
And art made tongue-tied by authority, 
And folly (doctor-like) controlling skill, 
And simple truth miscall'd simplicity. 
And captive good attending captain ill : 
Tired with all these, from these would I be 

gone; 
Save that, to die, I leave my love alone.

You forget that there is a woman in this

Sometimes the expression takes the form 
of Ou est la femme ? (or iu German, Wo ist

woman? where is she? what is her name ? 
As if, according to our own saying, Wher-

Quoted as Incerti Auctoris by Walter 
Davison in Poetical Rhapsody (temp. James

Thus translated by Davison : 

Dust is lighter than a feather, 
And the wind more light than either: 
But a woman's fickle mind 
More, than feather, dust or wind. 

Pray, what is lighter than a feather? 
Dust, my friend, in summer weather. 
What's lighter than the dust, I pray ? 
The wind that blows them both away. 
What is lighter than the wind? 
The lightness of a woman's mind. 
And what is lighter than the last ? 
Ah, now, my friend, you have me fast !

The Woman Soul leadeth us 

Upward and on. 

" I can find," says Mr. Taylor, in a note, 
" no English equivalent for Ewig-weibliche 
except Woman Soul, which will express 
very nearly the same idea to those who feel 
the spirit which breathes and burns through 
the scene. Love is the all-uplifting and all- 
redeeming power on earth and in heaven, 
and to man it is revealed in its most pure 
and perfect form through woman. Thus in 
the transitory life of earth it is only a sym- 
bol of its divine being, the possibilities of 
love which earth can never fulfill become 
realities in the higher life which follows ; 
the spirit which woman interprets to us 
here still draws us upward (as Margaret 
draws the soul of Faust) there."]

WONDER— WOOING. 



The man who cannot wonder, who does 
not habitually wonder (and worship), were 
he President of innumerable Royal Socie- 
ties, and carried the whole Mecanique 
Celeste and Hegel Philosophy, and the 
Epitome of all Laboratories and Observa- 
tories, with their results, in his single 
head,— is but a pair of spectacles, behind 
which there is no Eye. Let those who have 
eyes look through him, then he may be 
useful. 

Caelyle. Sartor Resartus. Bk. i. 
Ch. x. 

Eke wonder last but nine daies never 
in town. 

Chaucer. Troelus and Cresseide. 

This wonder (as wonders last) lasted nine 
daies. 

J. Heywood. Proverbs. Bk. ii. Ch. i. 



Celia. O, wonderful, wonderful, and 
most wonderful wonderful ! and yet 
again wonderful, and after that out of 
all hooping. 

Shakespeare. At You Like It. Act iii. 
Sc. 2. 1. 201. 

Macbeth. Can such things be, 
And overcome us like a summer's cloud, 
Without our special wonder? 

ibid. Macbeth. Act iii. Sc. 4. 1. 110. 

Long stood the noble youth oppress'd 

with awe, 
And stupid at the wondrous things he 

saw, 
Surpassing common faith, transgressing 

nature's law. 
Dryden. Theodore and Honoria. 1. 217. 

And Katerfelto with his hair on end 
At his own wonders, wondering for his

A schoolboy's tale, the wonder of an

Byron. Childe Harold. Canto ii. St. 2. 

What behaved well in the past or be- 
haves well to-day is not such a I 
wonder, 
The wonder is always and always how 
there can be a mean man or an 
infidel. 
Walt Whitman. Leaves of Grass : Song | 
of Myself. 22. 11. 28-f 



Her seemed she scarce had been a day 

One of God's choristers ; 
The wonder was not yet quite gone 

From that still look of hers ; 
Albeit, to them she left, her day 

Had counted as ten years. 

D. G. Rossetti. The Blessed Damozel. 

And Iseult watched him, raving, with 

sinless eyes 
That loved him, but in holy girlish wise, 
For noble joy in his fair manliness

Swinburne. Tristram of Lyonnesse. 

WOOING. 

Much ado there was, God wot, 
He would love and she would not. 
She said never was man true, 
He said, none was false to you, 
He said, he had lov'd her long, 
She said, Love should have no wrong. 
Corydon would kiss her then. 
She said, maides must kiss no men, 
Till they did for good and all. 

Nicholas Breton. Phillida and Cory- 
don.

humour woo'd? 
Was ever woman in this humour won? 
Ibid. Richard III. Act i. Sc. 2. 1. 228. 

Valentine. Take no repulse, whatever 
she doth say ; 
For, " get you gone," she doth not mean 

"away." 
Flatter and praise, commend, extol 

their graces ; 
Though ne'er so black, say they have 

angels' faces. 
That man that hath a tongue, I say, is 

no man, 
If with his tongue he cannot win a 
woman. 
Ibid. Two Gentlemen of Verona. Act iii. 
Sc. 1. 1. 100. 



WOOING. 



743 



Valentine. Never give her o'er; 
For scorn at first makes after-love the 

more. 
If die do frown, 'tis not in hate of you, 
But rather to beget more love in you ; 
If she do chide, 'tis not to have you 

gone, 
For why, the fools are mad if left 
alone. 
Ibid. Two Gentlemen of Verona. Act iii. 
Sc. 1. 1. 94. 

To get thine ends, lay bashfulness aside; 
Who fears to ask, doth teach to be 
deny'd. 
Herrick. Aphorisms: No Bashfulness in

Whilst the respectful, like the Greek, sits 

down 
And wastes a ten years' siege before one 
town. 
Nicholas Rowe. To the Inconstant. 
Epilogue. 1. 18. 

He that will win his dame must do 
As love does when he draws his bow ; 
With one hand thrust the lady from, 
And with the other pull her home. 
Butler. Hudibras. Pt. ii. Canto i. 
1.449. 

Not to love is in love an infallible means 
of being beloved. 

La Rochefoucauld. Reflections; or, Sen-

Brisk confidence still best with woman 

copes ; 
Pique her and soothe in turn, soon passion 
crowns thy hopes. 

Byron. Chtide Harold. Canto ii.

Not much he kens, I ween, of woman's 

breast, 
Who thinks that wanton thing is won by 

sighs. 

Ibid. Childe Harold. Canto ii. St. 34. 

Cressida. See, we fools ! 
Why have I blabb'd ? who shall be true 

to us, 
When we are so unsecret to ourselves ? 
But, though I lov'd you well, I woo'd 

you not ; 
And yet, good faith, I wish'd myself a 

man, 
Or that we women had men's privilege 
Of speaking first. 
Shakespeare. Troilus and Cressida. Act 

iii. Sc. 2. 1. 133. 



Helena. We cannot fight for love, as 
men may do ; 
We should be woo'd and were not made 
to woo. 
ibid. Midsummer Night's Dream. Act ii. 
Sc. 1. 1. 241. 

Rosalind. No, no, Orlando ; men are 
April when they woo, December when 
they wed : maids are May when they 
are maids, but the sky changes when 
they are wives. I will be more jealous 
of thee than a Barbery cock -pigeon over 
his hen ; more clamorous than a parrot 
against rain ; more new-fangled than an 
ape ; more giddy in my desires than a 
monkey: I will weep for nothing, like 
Diana in the fountain, and I will do that 
when you are disposed to be merry ; I 
will laugh like a hyen, and that when 
thou art inclined to sleep. 

Orlando. But will my Rosalind do so? 

Eos. By my life, she will do as I do. 
Ibid. As You Like It. Act iv. Sc. 1. 
1. 147. 

Claudio. Thus answer I in name of 

Benedick, 
But hear these ill news with the ears of 

Claudio. 
'Tis certain so; — the prince woos for 

himself. 
Friendship is constant in all other 

things, 
Save in the office and affairs of love : 
Therefore, all hearts in love use their 

own tongues; 
Let every eye negociate for itself, 
And trust no agent : for beauty is a 

witch, 
Against whose charms faith melteth 

into blood. 
This is an accident of hourly proof 
Which I mistrusted not.

WOOING. 



Othello. My story being done, 
She gave me for my pains a world of 

sighs ; 
She swore, — In faith, 'twas strange, 'twas 

passing strange, 
'Twas pitiful, 'twas wondrous pitiful : 
She wish'd she had not heard it; yet 

she wish'd 
That heaven had made her such a man. 

She thank'd me ; 
And bade me, if I had a friend that 

lov'd her, 
I should but teach him how to tell my 

story, 
And that would woo her. Upon this 

hint I spake ; 
She lov'd me for the dangers I had 

pass'd; 

And I lov'd her, that she did pity them : 

This only is the witchcraft I have us'd ; 

Here conies the lady, let her witness it.

spirit, full of forms, figures, shapes, ob-

womb of pia mater; and delivered upon 
the mellowing of occasion. But the

Had I not filed my mind, which thus 

itself subdued.

And, like the baseless fabric of this

The cloud-capp'd towers, the gorgeous 

palaces, 
The solemn temples, the great globe 

itself, 
Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve; 
And, like this insubstantial pageant 

faded, 
Leave not a rack behind : We are such 

stuff 
As dreams are made on, and our little 

life 
Is rounded with a sleep.

The Gorgeous Palaces, 

The Solemn Temples, 

The Great Globe itself, 

Yea all which it Inherit, 

Shall dissolve 

And like the baseless Kabrick of a Vision 

Leave not a wreck behind. 

It is possible that Shakespeare had in 
mind these lines which were published iu 
1603: 

Let greatnesse of her glassie scepters vaunt, 
Not scepters, no, but reeds, soone bruis'd, 
soone broken ; 
And :let this worldlie pompe our wits en- 
chant, 
All fades and scarcelie leaves behinde a 
token. 

Those golden palaces, those gorgeous halls, 

With furniture superfluously laire; 
Those statlie courts, those sky-eucount'ring 
walls 
Evanish all— like vapours in the aire.

WORSHIP. 

How often from the steep 
Of echoing hill or thicket have we 

heard 
Celestial voices to the midnight air, 
Sole, or responsive each to other's note, 
Singing their great Creator? 

.Milton. Paradise Lost. Bk. iv. 1. 680.

They have left unstained what there 
they found, — 
Freedom to worship God.

can and must so see it in any finite 
thins, once tempt him well to fix his 
eves thereon. 

Carlyle. Essays. Goethe's Works. 

Life's one joy is this, 
To love, to taste the soul's divine delight

Crabbed age and youth cannot live to-

Youth is full of pleasance, age is full

winter bare. 
Youth is full of sport, age's breath is 
short : 
Youth is nimble, age is lame ; 
Youth is hot and bold, age is weak and 
cold ; 
Youth is wild, and age is tame. 
Age, I do abhor thee ; youth I do adore 

thee.

Portia. I'll hold thee any wager, 
When we are both accouter'd like young 

men, 
I'll prove the prettier fellow of the two, 
And wear my dagger with the braver 

grace; 
And speak, between the change of man 

and boy, 
With a reed voice; and turn two 

mincing steps 
Into a manly stride ; and speak of frays, 



Like a fine bragging youth: and tell 
quaint lies, 

How honourable ladies Bought nay love. 

Which I denying they fell sick and 
died; 

I could not do withal: then I'll repent, 

And wish, for all that, that 1 had not 
kill'd them: 

And twenty of these puny lies I'll tell, 

That men shall swear 1 have discon- 
tinued school 

Above a twelvemonth: — I have within 
my mind 

A thousand raw tricks of these bragging 
Jacks, 

Which I will practise.

Our youth we can have but to-day; 
We may always find time to grow old. 
Bishop Berkeley? Can Love be Controlled

The atrocious crime of being a young 
man, which the honourable gentleman 
has with such spirit and decency charged 
upon me, I shall neither attempt to pal-

wishing that I may be one of those 
whose follies may cease with their 
youth, and not of that number who are 
ignorant in spite of experience.

O, Life ! how pleasant is thy morning, 
Young Fancy's rays the hills adorning ! 
Cold pausing Caution's lesson scorning, 

We frisk away, 
Like schoolboys at the expected warn-

To joy and play. 

Burns. Epistle to James Smith. 

Oh ! enviable, early days, 

When dancing thoughtless pleasure's 

maze, 
To care, to guilt unknown I 
How ill exchanged for riper times, 
To feel the follies, or the crimes, 
Of others, or my own I 

Ibid. Despondency. 

Young heads are giddy, and young 

hearts are warm, 
And make mistakes for manhood to 

reform. 

Boys are, at best, but pretty buds un- 
blown, 
Whose scent and hues are rather guess'd 

than known. 
Each dreams that each is just what he 

appears, 
But learns his error in maturer years, 
When disposition, like a sail unfurl'd, 
Shows all its rents and patches to the 
world. 

Cowper. Tirocinium. 

Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive, 
But to be young was very Heaven 1 
Wordsworth. The Prelude. Bk. xi. 

A youth to whom was given 
So much of earth, so much of heaven. 
Ibid. Ruth. 

Life went a-maying 
With Nature, Hope, and Poesy, 

When I was young ! 
When I was young ? — Ah, woeful when ! 
Ah, for the change 'twixt now and then ! 
This breathing house not built with 

hands, 
This body that does me grievous wrong, 
Oer aery cliffs and glittering sands, 
How lightly then it flashed along : 
Like those trim skiffs, unknown of yore, 
On winding lakes and rivers wide, 
That ask no aid of sail or oar, 
That fear no spite of wind or tide ! 

Coleridge. Youth and Age.

Ibid. Stanzas written on the road between 
Florence and Puta. I. 

When all the world is young, lad, 

And all the trees are green ;

And round the world away ; 
Tonne blood must have its course, lad, 

And every dog his day.

proud, 
Ascends the ladder leaning on the 
cloud ! 

Longfellow. Murituri Salutamus. 

I remember the gleams and glooms thai 
dart 

Across the school-boy's brain ; 
The song and the silence in the heart, 
That in part are prophecies, and in part 

Are longings wild and vain. 

And the voice of that fitful song 
Sings on, and is never still : 
" A boy's will is the wind's will, 
And the thoughts of youth are long, 
long thoughts." 

Ibid. My Lost Youth. 

O for one hour of youthful joy ! 
Give back my twentieth spring ! 
I'd rather laugh, a bright-haired boy 
Than reign a grav-beard king. 

Holmes." The Old Man Dreams. 



There are gains for all our 

There are balms for all our pain ; 
But when youth, the dream, departs, 
It takes something from our hearts, 
And it never comes again. 

R. H. Stoddard. Never Again. 

A young man will be wiser by-and-by ; 
An old man's wit may wander ere he 
die. 

Tennyson. The Coming of Arthur. 

Ah, what shall I be at fifty 
Should Nature keep me alive, 
If I find the world so bitter 
When I am but twenty-five ? 

Ibtd. Maud. Ft! i. vi. St. 5. 

A year ago and blithely paired 

Their rough and tumble play they 

shared ; 
They kissed and quarrelled, laughed and 

cried 
A year ago at Eastertide.

Filled her with thee, a daughter fair, 
So buxom, blithe, and debonair. 

Milton. L' Allegro. 1. 19. 

[The last line is borrowed without ac-

A bowl of wine is wondrous good cheer 
To make one blithe, buxom, and debonair.
